Possibly the worst load-shedding we have ever seen coming to South Africa - Expert

[Lupus]

Yes, its all good saying do maintenance, but when parts come from China, and China is locked down, or have been locked down, then despite all your good intentions, maintenance won't happen the way you want it to.

Exactly they didn't have supplies the numpties.

 

[nelca]

Just another way for Eskom to ask more money from us.

Aagjissus.

Still waiting for the regular stage 6 load shedding we were promised earlier this year (or was it last year?)

This.

Loadshedding is a myth, just a tool for political leverage.

 

[clickingbuttons]

Somebody needs to get an actual beating for this.

 

[supersunbird]

WTF??

How much more are you folks expected to take??

Unbelievable indeed !!!
Could the maintenance not have taken place during the lock down?

And before some smart ass comes up with social distancing stories ... I seriously doubt you need two people in such a small space on a power generation plant just for maintenance .... (there is always one)

Here is a smartass that will tell you the real deal, the maintenance required takes many months, some even more than a year and is not something that can be done in a month or two, and the units will need to be offline that whole time.

And still there's no planning for the future....

What the FCK has ESKOM bern doing this whole time? Why haven't they been playing serious catch up on maintenance while demand was low????

Possibly the worst load-shedding we have ever seen coming to South Africa - Expert

South Africans can expect to be hit hard by load-shedding before the end of June 2020, according to energy expert Ted Blom.

Blom told MyBroadband that as demand increases due to heavy industry, such as mining and smelting coming back online, Eskom could face problems from as soon as next week.

More indirect consequences which will cause businesses to close thanks to the insane lockdown policy we're still currently in.

The lockdown will cause more deaths than the virus ever would've.

People starving.
People with no money for adequate healthcare.
Expecting a increase in crime due to unemployment.

Did the health experts predict this? Because anyone with half a brain cell could.

 

[SeaSickMama]

posted a comment about this and MYBB deleted mine censorship "I am getting very tired of this so-called expert, who specialises in paranoid, pessimistic commentary, with only limited access to the facts. "

This so called Expert must be the biggest tool and understands nothing maybe a drinking buddy at a bar that likes SKANDAL

 

[Creag]

So many happy, cheerful thoughts

 

[Agent_Smith]

Saw an amusing post somewhere that said with level 4 lockdown combined with stage 2 loadshedding, I can buy food, I just can't cook it.

 

[grok]

Typical Eskom, Ramalectrix hasn't even finished announcing the cigarette ban and they settled into what they thought was the new normal.

 

[Athos]

The Ted and Chris Show is back on the air.

Didn't take into account the lockdown. May still come.

Ted sounds like the life of the party

And still there's no planning for the future....

I'm sure they planning to build more power stations to replace the two newly built multi Billion Rand ones that don't work. Not saying the new ones will work, but that hasn't stopped them before.
