Loadshedding will be reduced to Stage 2 from 12:00 today and suspended at 05:00 on Friday

Soo anyone still supporting De Ruyter 2 of the worst years of loadshedding? Excuses still being oh but he's doing maintenance and and rubbish? I mean the stations are falling over harder under him by the looks of it, we're actually burning more diesel as well.

 

[PaulMurkin]

Where do you see that?
Maybe it is just your sub station going wonky

Incoming side of my inverter, my measurements were confirmed correct with another forum member in Midrand. Substation isn't wonky as it cannot change the frequency

City Power still nothing in Johannesburg, their little stunt didn't pay off.

En die konte wag tot 'n half uur voor die tyd om dit aan te kondig. Fok weet ne.

Yes, they should have consumed the spice from Arrakis to try to gain prescient abilities in when the failures will occur...

So we have no power form 18:00 to 20:30 - the exact time my eldest is having her grade 7 farewell....

Going to be lovely with generators running next to event :-(

 

[Creag]

Drat! So, early to bed. Load shedding from 20:00 to 22:30 tonight.

Mains voltage has risen quite a bit... 245V, but now 50.1 Hz. It's usually 234V. Probably all the loads being automatically disconnected at various types of plant

Same, I love this new 2 hour schedule from city power, lovely to have power for 6 hours before it goes off again. Stage 2 wasn't so bad on the four hour one and we had days off, not a day off on this new rotation.

Ahh Eskom, next year this time when we all have 12 hour power cuts and have to use Dollars to pay for stuff and petrols for the rich and famous ! Good times ahead people ! good times !





Which District will you choose ?

They should be prepared for these failures, how many times have we had the conveyer belt excuse now, seriously. If you know you have a shitty conveyer belt then you make a plan for a back up of some kind, if you don't have one then plan load shedding to have one in place. Anything but the current shitshow would be better. They've had years of this kak now to at least try and put some plan in place.

And everyone keeps saying but the current CEO inherited a sinking ship, but it seems he didn't even bother to put some form of floatation device anywhere either.

The conveyor belt is a pre-programmed excuse. City Power in JHB use the "Hau eish cable theft" one for any outage. Its their default go-to excuse when they don't want to tell you the real reason

30% is still a Pass

So 7 hours and 12 minutes of electricity a day is the bar.... gg!

Well considering Zim didn't have much of a power grid to begin with.

De Ryuter is there just to top up his pension... that's all. He feels f0kkol... he's a narcissist
