That's not the power alert page, that's a guy who scrapes from the power alert page.

Well I had fun yesterday on my way home, with people blocking off a main road tyres burning toy-toy cause they have no power...
I'm expecting to see more & more of it.
Worse case was cops just standing there looking at them from a distance.

Load shedding will remain on Stage 4 until 22:00 on Friday. It was previously scheduled to be on Stage 6. Load shedding will then be lowered to Stage 2 until 07:00 on Saturday morning, Eskom said in a statement on Friday afternoon.
Stage 4 load shedding will then be implemented from 07:00 to 22:00 on both Saturday and Sunday, and at Stage 2 from 22:00 to 07:00 on both Saturday and Sunday.
"Eskom cautions that this small reprieve is due to lower than anticipated demand during the weekend and continues to evaluate the situation and closely monitor the system.
"We will communicate and implement any changes as may be necessary," the utility said.
Currently 3 104MW are out on planned maintenance, while another 17 431MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns.

Lower than usual demand = huge swathe of illegal connections have been terminated?
