The other option is trusting the clown'ership will become decent leaders and do the right thing. Its only a matter of time.

Pumped storage generating hours, gas generation & manual load reduction - Eskom Data Portal

The graph below indicates how primary fuel consrained resources where utilized during the past 7 days. Pump storage Gen Unit Hours is the amount of hours that one unit at a pump storage station can generate based on the amount of water still available in the dams. These dams are required to be...

Happy days. ANC will probably love it when Cape Town gets to experience more load shedding than the rest of SA.

Well Tuesday it improved, Wednesday it dropped again and didn't get any better yesterday, so far today isn't looking any better either.

Preparations for Sunday I recon, save now spend it then.
