There is a difference between a sub-station and a power station.

Fortunately in this case!

Municipal spokesperson Lourens Schoeman said the blast was caused when oil-based circuit breakers exploded due to power surges from load shedding.

Thats just what happened to Hursthill - I suffered for 5 days! These guys just won't accept responsibility for lack of maintenance.

It'll probably be blamed on all the snow, not the years and years of neglect (almost 14 to the day, eh?).

Power stations are like any other device Eskom asks you to switch on & off ... you put extra strain on them by doing so, and thereby shorten their life-expectancy.

Hands up anyone who has never switched the light switch on & off to blow the buzzing incandescent light bulb?

You had no power for 5 days?

A transformer blew up here last week because of Eishkom's get rich quick scheme.
