geez man, that's an awful schedule :(

Yup...
previously it was 8pm - 10pm or 6am - 8am... alternating.... at least it was pretty much predictable regardless of the stage..

Now, not so much.

We are in Area 7 (Cape Town City Bowl) but the power hasn't gone off, even though we are supposed to be off from 14h00 till 16h30. I wonder why? Are we being skipped over for some reason?

Same here for Parkhurst JHB. According to City Power website ours was supposed to go off at 14:00, but it is still on. I am not complaining though.

What's infuriating is they lull you into a false sense of security, you fire up the pc, put the kettle on...then zap! loadshedding.

Oh! Wow... Something must of collapsed.. Perhaps another power station? Koeberg this time maybe?

No idea - all I know is that I've already been shed twice today - this increase to stage three means I miss the third stage 2 that was scheduled for this evening.

Had load shedding at 8am - 10am.

Haven't had it previously for about a month or two since ethekwini decided to change the schedules and scheduled the majority of my slots between midnight and 10am - So I don't really get affected as much now.

Dammit, Generator sitting here not being used :( Bring the old schedules back!

I'm meant to be cut right now but it didn't happen. Second time my group has been left out of the Eskom festivities, and I hope it continues. My group isn't affected by stage 3 later so it's all good today.
