So.. no power outages in our area unless it’s load shedding related and always comes back on the dot. Feels like the new normal… stage 3 forever?

No winter disaster like predictions said?
Maybe LS ended by year end. /s

It's amazing when the system is not turned off and on every 4 to 6 hours that things don't pop right?
Though parts of my area still have cable thieves

Primrose was without power for 10 days; due to someone trying to steal a big eskom cable. They lost their life and residents lost power until eskom could come replace like 1km of it.

Then the residents lost their **** when they heard it was going to take 24hrs to seal the cable before switching on.

“Why does it need to be sealed? This is stupid”


Okay Karen, let us know how unsealed cables work next time when it rains.

They've had unsealed cables put down in one spot and after rain it popped. The contractor just shrugged his shoulders and was like told you so.
 
So I guess here's me going to use Eskom tonight to make sure I've got power at 6am tomorrow morning. Cause it's probably going to be stage 2 from 5am to 4pm and stage 3 from 4pm to midnight for awhile now. Until those magical generating units come online.
Sigh there goes my Friday off.

I'm also wondering about them - partial honesty for a change, or some further snuck-in sabotage, too early for freebie weather assistance - Jo'burg only gets a bit cold this weekend.

They might blame KZN and CPT as they are getting wrecked with rain and flooding.

Actually a bit better then previous days at this time, but I can see why they'd need stage 2 as they probably keeping the diesel for peaks.
