Joburg's electricity network in dire straits — City Power

Johannesburg's electricity network is teetering on the edge of total collapse due to load-shedding.

That is according to Tshifularo Mashava, chief executive of the metro's power distributor — City Power — in comments given to the Sunday newspaper Rapport.

I'm quite relieved to be in COJ but on a direct Eskom feed, I must say, bar the loadshedding, we don't get much faults in our area

Yup, checks out.

My experience with the two is that Eskom seemingly has better service than City Power, it's still not a good service but it is better.

We did not come to expect anything less from the people in charge....

The massive diesel generator is still blowing away steam on the road, and no load shedding in sight ever since it was put there, the noise is somewhat bearable except when they are refueling.

Easy problem to solve. Stop using the power station when it's not load shedding and put more strain on the Eskom grid.

Do you guys proofread anything....?, ANYTHING AT ALL????????????

If Joburg has a grid collapse, does that mean we get no load-shedding elsewhere until they can get it back online? Gotta find the silver lining somewhere before it's nicked.
