Expect ongoing load-shedding during winter peak periods

Eskom said South Africans should expect ongoing load-shedding during the evening peak period throughout winter.

The power utility implemented stage 2 load-shedding on Sunday evening because of 10 unit breakdowns at 7 power stations.

The breakdowns included 3 generation units at Tutuka, one unit at Majuba, one unit at Kriel, and one unit at the Matla power station.

...and in this afternoon's headline: The sun is expected to set at the end of the day.

We know this, expect it...nothing will surprise us unless they say load shedding is cancelled forever.

And to think Eskom was at one stage one of if not the best power producer in the world Luckily we have an ESS and gas appliances so can get through load shedding fairly easily.

Lol, and a week ago they were crowing about having 33000MW (or whatever it was) of capacity.

Not that a headline like this surprises me anymore. Guess more braaing for supper then.

I guess it all depends on then Eskom is going to give in to the unions demands.

People don't need to tell SA that's is a S**T country. Your Government tells the world every day of how S**T and incompetent they are. So glad I left in 2003. Unbelievable.

I hope the idiots are standing in the cold and dark to vote - may just make them think.

 

[thestaggy]

Expect ongoing loadshedding for the rest of your life.

 

[ConfusedR]

But why......
Eskom and the ANC have promised since 2008 that it will get better.

Typical politicians - they say what they want to - you can believe what you want to.

 

[Stokstert]

Typical politicians - they say what they want to - you can believe what you want to.

Politicians only talk to the 30%ters who believe anything the ANC says.

I hope the idiots are standing in the cold and dark to vote - may just make them think.

KFC and T-shirts are more important that Electricity and a functioning economy.

 

[Takkies]

Each time the lights go out we are reminded how incompetent the ANC really is.

 

[Priapus]

Just like I predicted... LS through the winter...

It was a safe bet.
