Maybe all the planned maintenance is being done by cadres etc and is actually making stuff more unreliable?

Or maybe all the stuffing up is being done intentionally, so that new saucy contracts supplier contracts can be signed to assist the situation (aka Karpower).
 
Would be nice if we, as the public, could hold a motion of no confidence in the government. This doesn't seem like a functioning democracy to me anymore... Not gonna be a country left to hold elections in next year. There is no ****ing way the econemy will survive 7+. Small business already can't survive

Can we have a tax revolt already?

I don’t really know how. If you are an employee , it’s already deducted from your salary. Vats already added to what you buy. I assume you can refuse to pay your monthly elec bill but they just cut your power

SA is one step away from Stage 8 load shedding as breakdowns, cash shortages lead to disaster | News24

Eskom is desperately trying to avoid stages of load shedding higher than the current Stage 6 as multiple and consecutive breakdowns, coupled with a lack of cash for diesel, create the perfect storm.

Love how they are "desperately trying to avoid anything higher than stage 6", forget about trying to avoid stage 6; stage 6 is just life now...

Kind of weird that the numbers people - the Treasury - can't do simple maths. Higher stages of load shedding cost the economy much more than providing more money for diesel.

That's been my thinking since they started complaining of diesel shortages. Assuming the published cost to the economy of 4 billion a day, how in earth are they even still debating just funding more diesel?
I shudder to think what the cost of stage 8 will be

I think I as far back as 2020 they’ve been saying stage 8 might happen that year. Maybe this year.

We literally are one step away from stage 8. We know how they hate odd numbers and skip the odd number stages. Only because it’s weekend is what’s saving us at the moment.

That article is paywalled - what's this one step?
 
Is it just me, or is it a bit weird that dataportal hasn't been updated yet? Data is still all for the 12th

It's just you. It's always 24 hours behind reality. They update it in the afternoon usually, although sometimes only after 48 hours. It's probably like this so they can make up the numbers as they go.

They are just testing us to see how much we can handle, Like a lot of us saw stage 2 as the worse thing ever when it started but now it's has turned into a blessing.
