Load Shedding - the all in one thread

[feo]

I heard Durbs is having major power problems.

 

[ToxicBunny]

That it is..
they're load-shedding like a muthertrucker atm....

 

[Ivan...]

Nothing here so far

*touch wood*

If I were you I wouldn't be touching wood, I'd be collecting it...

 

[Ivan...]

..must be all the Christmas lights..

 

[ToxicBunny]

I swear... eks-dom better be prompt.. or at least Tshwane Metro better be prompt with their load-shedding... Thay say 3:30.. so I expect it to happen anytime now.

..must be all the Christmas lights..

Or they're trying to emulate Christmas lights with all the cities lights! All the Eskom board members are probably watching from their spacebunker right now!

Out in the Cape power was down from Retreat to Simonstown, all of Ottery, Sybrand Park\ Athlone and all of Montague Gardens. Thats just what I know off, it was extremely irritating how do you install printers, pc's or graphics cards without power, now I have to go back to 4 clients tomorrow and I was already overbooked.

 

[HelloThere]

We in Hillcrest area were just affected from 4 to 6.

 

[hj2k_x]

UCT was down when i was there just now. For hours. Even the ATM's were off.

 

[HavocXphere]

Rushhour around the Menyln area was great fun today. According to the Tschwane website, my area is also due for a water outage today and tomorrow. Can't wait. lols

For once - unscathed

 

[Gunny]

I still want to know how they loadshed business and industrial areas, someone needs to do a analasis on how much it costed business owners in say Montague gardens to be down for most of the day. It probably runs into millions

We should prepare for more fun this week:

"Please note: The schedules will apply for the rest of the week, should there be load shedding"

Load ****ting currently underway in Centurion.

If this happens during sunny skies, the logical deduction would be that we are in for a few rough winters ahead.

Anyone still wonder why they call it "Dark" Africa?
