Load shedding will hit today

[DrJohnZoidberg]

I'm being shed a load right now.

How does that make you feel?

Supposed to be having load shedding for the last half hour, still have power.

Eskom is shedding its load all over my face!!!

4 hours of running diesel generator for an office block has just ended - the economic pain that Eskom causes and seemingly no one is paying for this crime

We're paying for their crimes

So our loadshedding ends but right after our remote server where our financial system hosted gets hit. So again we can't work on month end. 4 hours of work lost today...

And they were 40 minutes late.

Power just went out in Durbanville - thought Cape Town would be immune against the JHB Escom shenigans :-(

Yep, was in Checkers when it went off. Left my basket right there and fcked off into the traffic.

Eskom is really desperate for money if CoCT get affected as well. TSEK naaiers

On the Eskom site - but that tells you the stage or if you are an account holder - whether you are going to be loadshed. The rest of us have to use sites

I installed one from Bitzulu.

Seems accurate, we'll see. Electricity should be coming on in the next few minutes hopefully. I want to fokof home, but not if the power is out.

I'm working from home at the moment because no car - I am paid per hour - so this BS is making me work till late evenings. Government can get ****ed. Need to find more ways to contribute less to their coffers.

Inverter and battery from Midas and you can power your laptop for a good few hours.

Doesnt cover Emfuleni and the schedule on Eskom's site is dated 2013.

Try this
Have a look at this app that I have been using. It notifies you of load shedding that will take place and has schedules for most of South Africa. If your area isn't included you can contact the developer to get it added.
