They mentioned someone else taking the roll for now, but the guy leaving was working for eskom 27 years.

Hope he enjoys it...

Unit 2 of Koeberg delayed until the end of the month... . One unit is basically worth 1 stage worth of LS.

Pretty much and the units they mentioned 2 were piddling, Camden is like 200MW and Hendrinia is the same per unit.

They don't employ cadres in operational roles, Libs. You should look at the guy's CV, no cadre has the experience to fill a role like that. Dude was with Eskom for 27 years.

Canada 1: South Africa 0

But then this is what the votas want.

Lady from Eskom said it was 73 days but I'm not sure if she was counting the 5pm to 10pms

We've got someone at Jo'burg city power doing something weird - yesterday afternoon we were given an extra 2 hours, early this morning another hour added but this time earlier. ???

Anyone elsewhere having this weirdness? Maybe a small breakdown and then repairs, but at 4am??

 

[sand_man]

Yeah. Norwood was out Saturday from 4am to 2.30pm but subsequently missed a few sessions since.

Yesterday's 12pm ran over with an hour.

It's a mess as they try keep up with the schedule

 

[JustJack]

Large parts of Centurion and surrounds still off since 6 this morning

We had the opposite these past two days. Missed Sunday evening, then Monday morning and evening were only off for about an hour.

They should just implement the highest stage and forget this nonsense. Use the reserve for maintenance.

So, just complicated, and keep the masses guessing what comes next

 

[Rayne]

****ing idiots just keep it on one stage.

What's next winter going to be like? Different stage every 2 hours?

 

[Brian_G]

I guess it shows they're trying at least. As for next winter, still hoping this was the bottom of the barrel.
