Most of the other councils have gone with 2-2:30 hours of loadshedding, city of joburg decided to go with 4 hours...


Mine for this weekend should be 10:00 -12:30. Thswane/Pretoria.

No loadshedding for me this weekend!!!!

 

[HapticSimian]

So, Saturday and Sunday 18:00 to 22:30. The only family time I have.

I don't see the justification of shutting down residential areas over weekend evenings. Switch off more areas during the night if you have to, to supposedly 'build up reserves'. The effect on one's state of mind is tangible; I would quite happily punch the 'honourable' minister Lynne Brown in the face given half a chance.

 

[Bona Botse]

Damn some of you guys have it rough. We get shad on every other day for 2 hours during stages 1 & 2. Stage 3 is daily but also for just 2 hours.

 

[MrGray]

But what do the different stages of loadshedding entail? What exactly is meant by stage 1, 2, etc.?

I assume you've been out of the country?

Stage 3 we get 9 hours a day, 4 days a week. 4.5 the others.

Bloemfontein.... same thing!

 

[dabbler]

Yeah baby.
Spent R600 yesterday on a battery to get my gennie starting again, and was really concerned that load shedding was a thing of the past

I think your sense of joy is somewhat misplaced.

So during stage one blackouts 1000MW of the national load is cut, 2000MW during stage two, and 4000MW in stage three? Is that right?

 

[Bar0n]

I assume you've been out of the country?

Should have held up a sarcasm sign?

Bloemfontein.... same thing!

When did I give that away?

Yup. Stage 3b/4 is up to 8000MW.

I never forget...

Was in a MSAN thread I think...
