Sure but why ignore the part that 50% is broken? Don’t we have our own gas in mossel bay?
Ask the guys using egoli gas how expensive it is?

50% is broken as it was retired in the 90s and brought back in 2010 for an overly extended lifespan, as the ANC didn't plan sh5#$#.

They were retired in the 90’s because we had too much power. It was apartheid’s fault.

A few hours after I posted that, mydorpie.com sent out a stage 4 alert.... followed by a correction saying that all is as it was.

Their mistake, or Eishkom rattling its tail? Nobody knows.

11:45 is when rain was expected (nothing here), and when it got much colder.

Yeah I was watching the cloud cover, it got cold, but than a few minutes later the sun popped out.

I thought Gauteng was small, Jo'burg even smaller, compared to the size of the whole country.. so why do we make things go red?..

Too many weird factors and too often.

You'd be surprised

You'd be surprised

Yep, I would be. For instance, aren't we told that there's a massive amount of solar panels in use here by industry..
