No load-shedding for Joburg City Power users this weekend

But I though regulation prevents generating your own electricity. Si why is JHB and CPT so special?

Sitting in the dark typing on my phone in the City of Tshwane.....
wait until there's an anc mayor, then it will be possible.
 
We had one for years and we had plenty of loadshedding, plus the city was bankrupt when he finally left.
yeah, it was in jest, but since when do municipalities have to pay eskom anyway :ROFL:
 
Kinda weird because we up here in the North of the North is supposed to ha e load shedding but nada. Lights are on. Now I can't trust the schedule anymore .
 
Yeah, Sebenza distributor tripped taking out 10 sub stations with it. Huge part of Joburg was out from 9pm till around 3am this morning...
 
Thankfully wasn't affected either.
 
Had power all weekend. Not sure about this week though.
 
So apparently now they won't be load shedding between 4 and 6PM any more.
 
6 till 9 is also out
No 6PM to 4PM is still on the cards. Apparently Eskom is looking to "minimise" congestion and strain on the traffic network. Pity they didn't think of this plan before to not load shed during "inopportune" hours and find appropriate hours to do maintenance.
