No load-shedding expected this weekend

Speaking at a media briefing on Thursday evening, acting Eskom CEO Jabu Mabuza stated that he does not expect any load-shedding to be implemented over the weekend.

Stage 1 load-shedding has been announced for Friday, however, and will be implemented from 09:00 until 23:00.

Eskom just announced that stage 2 will be implemented due to units not returning to service.

Go get R3 Billion back from the SABC, because we can't watch TV with no power. Go get R1-2B back from Denel, because why fund weapons for other countries. Go get R20B back from SAA, because who the **** wants to fly SAA anyway.

I could go on.

Why is there not money for Electricity and Water infrastructure, but plenty for all this other bullshit.

I thought they weren't even working properly in the first place, with the flawed designs, behind schedule, etc. Can't really lose something that wasn't there contributing in the first place

Mine too, but came on at 10:30.
