probably unannounced, you know how it is, schedules are about as much worth as a goverment minister

Running off the invertor in Brackenhurst... See there's a thread on a power failure at CT international.. Maybe some loadshedding taking place?

No load shedding is taking place. CT international is exempt from load shedding anyway. They actually had a failure yesterday.

probably this ^^^

loadshedding as we had it earlier from around 6AM till about 10AM.

Not load shedding. Regular power failures also occur from time to time.

Would you guys knock it of with the load shedding crap. There is no load shedding going on.

This is the entire part of Alberton, Germiston and Nigel.

CT International is due to a sub station fire.

Have you tried phoning Ekurhuleni (The municipality) yet? They should be able to tell you whats going on.

Just one person insisting it's load shedding

Have already lodged a fault. No point trying to call Ekurhuleni. They don't answer.

But City Power is for Alberton area.

Nope. Last time I checked it was Ekurhuleni.

Well ill be damned.

Yep, the whole of Alberton including Meyersdal falls under Ekurhuleni.

Apparently the Brackenhurst CPF posted that some workers along Swartkoppies Road severed a major cable.
