New load shedding schedule could keep you in the dark for days at a time: report

Eskom recently announced that it would be re-introducing load shedding, but has also made a number of changes to its schedule.

 

[Nerfherder]

Speaking to News24, Eskom spokesperson Dikatso Mothae said that there was nothing to panic about and that the risk of stages 5-8 being implemented was very low.

Mmmmm..... ja....

 

[ToxicBunny]

The fact that they're factoring in a plan to cover 8000MW shortage, means its something that are very aware is a real possibility now...

Why the hell are all the IPPs not on stream already? Who has been fired for this abortion?

Every year I keep postponing my purchase of a gas tank. Time to just get one now. Would not be a very festive season sitting at home without hot meals.

Mothae added that Eskom and most metros have already developed load shedding schedules that cater for stages 1-8.

Really? Seems a bit sinister that they've been quietly organising stage 5,6,7 & 8 with the metros and this is the first we hear of it.

I'll just be dusting off the Weber...

Well done ANC!

Where can we see this schedule? We have an Eskom top dog just a block away from us, and he is NEVER without electricity.

Absolute **** HOLE! Well done you dumb ****wits! SA is nothing more than another african failed state!

Agreed. We should get out while we still can. How much is a ticket to Arsetrailia?

Fun times ahead - the legacy of the Guptas and years of mismanagement

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

As long as it stays not too bad for the next 5 months, I'm good ..... can go to shyte after I'm out for all I care (and it will). Stupid clowns.

Eksdom, aptest name for a previously prestigeous but captured now company ever!

Well he either has backup means like a generator or solar or he is on a different grid than you. Because it is near impossible to exclude a single property from a suburban grid.

 

[Nobody Important]

Well done ANC!

Are you proud? You and your incompetent comrades are running this country into the ground.

Look at the gall of this "comrade".

 

[backstreetboy]

Couldn't care any less. Africa has 320 days of sunshine a year. I'll just go solar...

 

[creeper]

8 stages of shedding, Eskom gave to me...

1. Is a nuisance
2. An irritation
3. People start swearing
4. Things start burning
5. No more working
6. Last few emigrating
7. No more baking
8. Economic standstill

...and they still want an ridiculous increase.

(sing it on the tune of 12 days of Christmas)

Time to accelarate my plans to start moving off grid.
