Load-shedding break for the "long weekend"

[TheChamp]

Pretty much the case all over jhb, just have a look at the twitter feed for citypower.

It's a good day if you just have loadshedding, a moderate one if power comes back within 2 hours of loadshedding but most of the time you're lucky if you at least get some electricity in a 24 hour period.

Why do you guys love making your problem everyone's problem? If you don't have water, all of Joburg does not have water, if you don't have power, all of Johannesburg does not have power?

What's up with that?

Thanks to the MK Party. Viva Zuma Viva.

And **** Andre, life is so much nicer without that guy running the show, no more Stage 6

We (Honeydew) were off for 8 hours from 03:45.

Then we tripped again around 14:40.

So, since midnight, I've had less than 6 hours of power....

And for the ANC, giving you less than 6 hours of power is a massive achievement

The ANC mafia cartels are having a couple days off

Happy Human Kites day!

oh thank you oh merciful dictasters...

Exactly this.

It's like getting punched in the face every day and one day you don't get punched you have to be like oh thank you, thank you, you're so kind and wonderful

Hanlon's Razor - “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

Very true

Load-shedding break for the "long weekend"

Eskom will suspend load-shedding from 05:00 on Thursday, 21 March 2024, due to an expected decrease in electricity demand heading into the weekend, coupled with an increase in available generating capacity.

The rotational power cuts will be dropped from 05:00 on Thursday until further notice.

With the "long weekend " how on earth do you expect a DECREASE in usage. Surely with more people at home there should be more usage, sounds like a pre election sales pitch

They,the anc governmunt, believes that if you sit on a nail long enough you eventually don't feel the pain

Heavy users aren't households. It's businesses

Residential doesn't use anywhere near as much as industry.
During the first 3 months of lockdown demand was down to Xmas levels everyday.

So much for a break for the long weekend with stage 3 starting at 8pm apparently.

They didn't specify that it would be for the entire weekend

At least they're aware enough that they can't promise any sort of stability in the system.

 

[Genisys]

Long weekend is already done?

 

[Heisenborg]

Ramapoes did his speech, so back to normal now

Apparently dams are the excuses plus the break will only be till 4pm as usual.

Nah double up on loadshedding, that's our new heritage so let's celebrate another anc good story....in the dark!

Last year this we actually got the whole long weekend off.
