Wonder if it was, or if it was just a blip. Though I've had that, stage 6 load shedding declared 5:30, power goes off till 6amMy 2-4am slot started at 03:45 and ended at 04:00

Left my power station to charge overnight. It is full but our power was out since 1:00 AM and as I am being reminded it is not load shedding that might actually be wrong. According to one of the ward councillors, they suspect that it might actually be a load reduction. So still Eskom... Isn't that interesting?

Nope load reduction is being done in certain areas of Midrand by City Power

Yea, we don't fall under CityPower. That is kind of the point I am making.

This is pretty bad, loadshedding + load reduction. I can't imagine living like this.
