As soon as the regular/certain hours load reduction notifications for illegal connections areas stop, and the severely our grid is under pressure starts, you know it is coming.

I checked now... the notifications are still coming daily, they posted a number of them today.

January is going to be fun when they start fukking around with Koeberg... I reckon permanent Stage 2 for us poor fools.

FYI Eskom are liars of the highest order.
They "claimed" to have read my meter and billed accordingly in November 2021... The bill came today. They were in the area reading meters yes... but not the client ones... No sir, just stopped at the substation and read the meter on there which has the total reading of all the homes connected to it. So I pay what I measure I am using, they still claim I used R10k's worth of power in March 2021.

How do I know this?
A) I have my own lock on the meter box
B) I have a camera on the meter box and the substation in another road and I have been checking the footage because of an unrelated problem to do with my house being "marked" as a target by criminals.

They read the meters on the SUBSTATIONS last week Friday, not the individual ones.
Also its a contractor (as we know) because they're too useless to read it themselves.
Said contractor didn't read the meters from February 2020 through to March 2021 hence bill shock.

CAPE TOWN – Eskom announced one of its towers collapsed on Tuesday in Marikana in the North West.

The power utility said the Bighorn Pluto Tower collapsed due to vandalism and theft and cautioned the community to avoid removing tower members and other equipment from the electricity structures, and to stay clear of the area.

Scary thing is not that the ANC rubbish are dumb, it is that they are amoral and callous thieves who would happily turn SA into Zim or Venezuela to benefit themselves, family and friends and never satisfied. Mugabe style scorched earth policy.

So Eskom is now predicting the future...?

Yeah, so no surprise, Eskom is lying...
All they do is tell lies... lies from here to there to everywhere...
