Have the strikers picketing at the power stations been removed?

Can we have a pic of these striking workers?

Aha. Think it's another Eskom "excuse"?

Hard for them to play the heroes this weekend, really odd if they now cancel / downgrade for a Sunday night as usual but not good if they don't either..

And have to presume this isn't going to end soon, but dare we "hope" for stage 2 again?

Let's see at 11am when the chart gets updated:


I see we're down to 24.4GW capacity.

No change, orange area is diesel usage, I predict higher stages next week as the diesel runs out:

Thanks
Back to stage 2 from 20:00 looks possible, for now anyway. Weekend being over maybe just 17-22:00 again as well.

Nah. I see Stage 4 continuing at least for the first part of the week. We need about 29-31GW in declared availibility. Looks like none of the plants which went down last week (amounted to 2400MW) have been put back online.

Eskom regrets to inform the public that stage 4 load shedding is anticipated to continue from 05h00 on Monday morning until midnight at least until Wednesday

 

[wingnut771]

My prediction is coming true.
Stage 6 Thursday

When Eskom uses the term "at least" ... OH SH*T!
