Say it isn't true.

Say it isn't true.

While the date is not true, the rumour has not yet been denied. It has been bandied around in most mainstream papers...

Eskom said today that South Africans need to save more electricity as they cannot guarantee there wont be load shedding over the next two years, was on the radio today.
I would like to know why Eskom says the next two years specifically, is there a new power plant coming online in two years that will alleviate some of our power problems?

Eish. Saw is email somewhere. These days it is safe to say you can ignore any news sent via email.

yeah, wait till they light up the N1 here in Cape Town .... that will cause a big draw ....
yet, with load shedding, they will be on one night & off the next

It's about time,I know 3 different people who have hit people crossing the n1 at the same place (near sable).

Those lights look awful low though!

"Load shedding" is hiding the reality.
They are really taking about frequent power failures.
