Load-shedding could continue for the next week - Eskom

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

The irony of the power cuts is great! If they think we are fools to believe that there are actual problems with their ability to produce power, then they take us for kindergarten students.

The latest round of forced power outages serves further proof that they need to be dramatically overhauled keelhauled. Cut the sloth! Lay sword to the swine who smite us with this scourge, I say! Bastards!

FTFY - period appropriate as well

It's hilarious how they have major capacity issue, yet Eskom and the municipalities are doing everything they can to make solar impractical.

Dont forget supplying other countries as well, but selling yourself short for your own people.

Power goes down, adsl goes down.

Not much point in having an inverter.

LTE and cell down as well when load shedding starts - appears they no longer replacing stolen batteries - what a **** place we live in, that the backup equipment gets stolen, ****en *****.

Pretty much says it all.

The Grid is indeed taking strain,
Looking at my various sites, monitoring software reports.

We should be at 230volts / 50Hz
Currently sitting at 208volts / 49Hz

No good at all!

then we get our increases and magically we end loadshedding.

Its like a little flex from Eskoms side. Look what we can do. Do you want some more of this?

That somebody hasn't shot anybody working for Escom's board is beyond a miracle. Lie, cheat is the order for on the day. When government is brain dead, but your citizens have more brain power is scary, when they feed everybody BS....

In Somerset West I usually measure a stable 238V, this evening jumping between 234 and 235V.

Have they confirmed blackouts for tomorrow yet?

Loadshedding will continue as long as a corrupt goverment rules.

That was last Thursday. This week they aren't 'expecting' any load shedding.
