Yeah but the KZN still brings in a higher total GDP then the WC, even if it's only 2%, so even if Durban is only 59.88% of the total for KZN, it would still in theory be higher then Cape Towns2018 -

There's no but. We're not arguing. At least I didn't know we were.Yeah but the KZN still brings in a higher total GDP then the WC, even if it's only 2%, so even if Durban is only 59.88% of the total for KZN, it would still in theory be higher then Cape Towns

I was posting stats from COGTA as a response the other oke and then adding to yours. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My first post was showing how Durban isn't just a port and contributes almost as much as the golden child, Cape Town.
They did that back in December, Eskom gave them 3 days, the problem is when it rains it fraks things up more and technically Johannesburg is supposed to have been declared in an SOD but apparently we're treated differently to Durban.
It has been just last weekWhole country needs to be declared a SoD.
You been sleeping under a rock?Whole country needs to be declared a SoD.

That's the highest baseload in a good while. Not sure why they had to use 11 OCGTs though...
Come guys, we can do better, lets get the demand over 30GW.
and VPS and ILS.That's the highest baseload in a good while. Not sure why they had to use 11 OCGTs though...
Not sure if it's due to all the outages surrounding me, but we didn't have our last 2 load shedding sessions, though we did skip our morning one yesterday, we still got 4 hours off as the 2 to 4 one was extended.
But still 10 to midnight skipped and 6 to 8 skipped.

We did have a double from 2 to 6pm, but we didn't get any others, will see again at 2pm.Its ok I took another one for the team... This time at home.
Scored another double last night for mahala:

No you don't get it, literally 90% of my entire block is out right now.The only reason you're missing slots is because someone is forgetting to run the script that flips the switch on your substation... not because there are other outages that mean they don't need to LS you.
