Stage 2 during the day and stage 4 at night, but looks like it should only really be stage 3/4 at night till midnight. Possibly why some places didn't get early morning sheds.

Yes but we only require stage 4 at night, not the stage 2 during the day. For us poor schleps in JHB stage 2 during the day + stage 4 at night is like stage 4 all the time, or your stage 8??

Well, my famous 4-6pm slot is today. Lets see if it turns into a 4 hour slot like last week.

They normally do it on weekends when people aren't trying to work from home, also honestly they had no idea if there was going to be shitting or not as it was apparently planned from the 30th June, but they only send the warning on the 16th and today.

Had maintenance today, first we (think we) saw of it on Eskom se Push was after it started.

Lupus said:
Haha :) the last maintenance only finished at 8pm when it was supposed to end at 4

Good news is ours finished at 12:45pm instead of 4pm.

We went off at 12:00am, on at 12:30am.
My guess that they'll be keeping things less than good before the coming weekend to look more regularly competent does seem possible. Politics doesn't care what it costs the country.

Here's hoping, though the last time was on a Sunday so it was probably more for over time and it looked like they were going really slowly on the breaker replacement.

Not in one go but over the course of the day yes, stage 4 is 6 hours

Was supposed to have 2-4am earlier but clearly they ended loadshitting without telling anyone.

So I would have had 2 hours already before our 4pm slot today, which might turn into a 4 hour session, so there's your 6 hours.
