Even The Chump is not that positive, it'll probably be back on the 4th, 5th or 6th...

I didn't see a prediction from him?

Hope he is OK...

Fscking hell man...

Thats like saying 'it's been a quiet week' on Friday afternoon at work..

All hell is going to break loose now

Why do we think LS is going to come back with a vengeance?

It's been the quiet before the storm....

The history... :-/

But methinks politics will now reverse that.

 

[Priapus]

I think they're going to try keep LS to as low levels as possible - by running OGTs hard - because the elections are soon.

Pessimistic I guess, though this Dec has been better

 

[Brian_G]

@TheChamp - new year's resolution - not gonna mention your ANC interests again, your opinion is as valid as any other and anyway your ship is now sinking..

Why do we think LS is going to come back with a vengeance?

Cause just as most businesses closed for the holidays LS stopped

One thing is clear we can at stages have some low loadshedding and when demand spikes just a little bit all hell breaks loose and we have stage 6

I can understand if we had just a month or two stint of load shedding before x-mas that people would become optimistic that we will start the new year with no problems

But we had LS just about the whole year last year with record numbers , smashing previous years

Do people really believe that eskom will magically fix everything in the 2 weeks we have no shedding?

The worry i have is trends tend to be very hard to break

The trend has been things get worse every year

What if 2024 is just a continuation of the trend and is worse than 2023

Emphasis on try

And probably fail trends are trends after all

This thread has led many of us to believe that much of the Eskom figures are fiction, that other issues are on-going which are the real culprits in this;

Politics
State Capture
Sabotage
Extremes re extra repairs

Yea if we suddenly have a good year because of elections

It would basically confirm those suspicions

M3h, don't let him live in your head rent fee. I literally couldn't care less what the man has to say anymore. He isn't even on the naughty list, it's just a random account on an internet forum that bares no significance in my life.

 

[Priapus]

Ypu're right. It's very soon, in political terms.

 

[Brian_G]

?
In politics, that's hardly any time at all

 

[leon.davibe]

If they expect us to believe everything's fixed just cause we had a reduction in demand because x-mas

You have to ask how dumb do they think the voters are

Scratch that, they may have a point

I don't. It's literally some respect, some of his efforts to find balance have impressed me.
