Load shedding will hit today

[xrapidx]

Yip. Useless bastards can't do anything right.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Almost 3 hrs now for you guys in that area.
How long does it take the ANC to reboot Cape Town ?

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

I imagine a bunch of cell tower technicians we're running around like headless chickens today replacing backup batteries. Cell C has been intermittent at best but seems fine now.

 

[mercurial]

I guess I will also be shedding my load today, then.

 

[Jase]

Well at least we are prepared, spare gas for the braai, candles and other lighting and the tablets are charged and a few Netflix items downloaded in case the load shedding continues longer than planned.

 

[Temujin]

Off from 8... Which means will be lucky if back on by mid day tomorrow knowing how its been run in the past

 

[hj2k_x]

Off in West Beach, Cape Town. Sigh

 

[mercurial]

Why did people say it's not happening in CPT when the tweet from ESKOM clearly says CITY OF CPT?

 

[grok]

I wonder if this is that plan Julius mentioned? You know, the one he recons black professionals need to implement before dismantling whiteness.

Doesn't seem to be going so well, tbh..

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

In Jhb as well

Fck my life. According to City Power parkhurst to be shed from 16:00 - 20:30 today on Stage 1.

Guess I will be getting take aways on my way home and popping a sleeping tablet tonight.

Well FML, I'm on the same schedule in Boskruin... Need Solar ASAP...or a winning lotto ticket.

 

[RedViking]

Apparently ours going off tonight for couple of hours. Which means we'll only eat around 8.

Luckily all my important areas are not shedding rest of the day on Level 1 here in CT.

Let's hope tomorrow there's nothing though....

Presumably it applies to areas Eskom supplies directly.

Yeah Im also safe today but if Stage 1 is still on tomorrow that's Somerset West out from 6am to 8:30am. No biggy really as I wake up 5:45am to boil my kettle and there is plenty daylight to still go shower etc.

So glad I have an inverter system.

I also don't mind in the evenings. Anything after work hours from 6pm onwards is fine.
It stays light quite late so I braai and the kids swim.
If from 8pm onwards, kids go to bed and so do we...nudge nudge...wink wink.

haha lekker.
Yeah it isn't really an issue now in summer. My APC 1000VA UPS in my lounge had 2x12aH batteries that I replaced with 2x105aH batteries so my lounge stays alive easily through load shedding.

 

[HowTo]

It happened here Springs suburb. From 15:00 to 18:00

This is all bullshit. Because they cant run Eskom. Blame it on what ever. Then these fools want more money because they ****ed up. Look at the two new power station still not properly online yet. Three years and counting over due. Misspend money we can go on and on about this. I'm gatvol.
