Loadshedding is back

Eskom twitter.... Looks like the employee is also striking because the temp is not doing a good job....

Update #Power_Alert 2: Power system will be severely constrained between 5pm and 10pm. Eskom calls on all consumers to assist by reducing their electricity consumption to minimise the risk of load shedding.

so they can't tell us if it's definite shedding or not as it draws close to the time, typical

Yeah they deleted their previous tweet stating stage 2 load shedding so something tells me they might have recovered tripped units just in time but I think they will probably announce 4pm the start of load shedding.
 
#POWER_ALERT 3: Date: 16 June 2018
Stage 2 load shedding will commence at 17h00
 
How many politicians does it take to change a lightbulb?

Just two. One to explain to the public that everything possible is
being done to solve the problem, and the other to screw the
lightbulb into the water faucet.
 
Oh frabjous day... I had a sma smidgen of sympathy for the union members on Friday, but it's entirely gone now and they don't deserve a single cent of increase
 
Sitting here posting in the dark. On top of the thousands I pay in taxes, the thousands I pay for overpriced electricity, I now have to fork out R5k-R10k for a ****ing generator tomorrow. **** those workers and **** eskom. And **** whomever else had a hand in this circus

More like one to screw it in and 1000 "employees" or "voters" to break it in "protest" 5 minutes later.

Don't forget that on top of the increase you will also get to pay an additional increase as Eskom's revenue will drop due to load shedding :D

This would be pretty funny if it were not 100% true.
 
I've had my share already, i've never experienced load shedding this organised before, i watched the France game and the Argentina one and power went out only to be back in time for the Nigeria vs Croatia.
 
#POWER_ALERT 1: Date: 17 June 2018 Electricity supply remains constrained.

If it remains constrained on a Sunday then we might see a full day of load shedding tomorrow?
 
Of course it's to much to expect Eskom to keep to their own damn loadshedding schedule.
