Wasn't the fresh diesel supposed to last for a few weeks anyway? Or has the newer emergencies killed that..

I think it was.. but as far as I understand, because they know they won't be getting more this year, they're trying to conserve for an emergency that may topple the grid

If I recall it was only a 10 day supply.

Stage 5 until 5am on Saturday morning, then stage 4 until 5am on Sunday, then stage 2 until 5am on Monday.

Only thing that explains this recent crazy up-down behaviour is coordinated sabotage.
Just leaves me wondering if it's local mafia, leftists, or both.

I wonder if Zimbabwe's typical daily power situation is more or less stable than ours?

Certainly not coming from JHB. Not sure anyone in the city actually has power at all during anything higher than stage 4. Go off for your 4 hour block and come back sometime in the next few days this is out of control...
