So in how many weeks until we see a total power outage? As in load shedding stage fck you?

At least I had my trial run.
Did my shopping according to that so will be ok at home as for the rest only the dice can tell.

How is someone without Eskom se push meant to follow this sht lmao

My eyes glazed over while reading that.

You get dumbasses on the community groups still asking what time load shedding is today. Every single day. Just get the fscking app...

Supposed to be impossible, with their ability to isolate areas etc. but after the collapse in Pakistan who knows... :-/

I would actually hazard a guess that eskom has the best network management team in the world in relation to preventing complete grid collapse.

We're almost ready to beat second place by the end of Feb.

Or, if it's stage 4, exactly the same time as yesterday. Unless you noticed the power was out earlier, then it's a schedule change and you just move it 2 hours back.

I still can't believe/ understand how we have had almost non-stop load shedding since last year September. How in the hell has that happened?

If they don't know how to download an app then understanding how the schedule works will be beyond them...

Sadly yeah, how many times people ask for tomorrows schedule from City Power, it's like really? Download ESP or Load shedding notifier, it's been more accurate.

And just AFTER winter.... very suspicious. Especially since they've never actually lost complete control for all these months.

Three theories seem most popular;

1. Their consultation with experts last year about how to catch up led to a can't-be-done answer, so they're doing hidden extra maintenance.

2. Leftist renewables-pushers who are controlling the purse strings doing their thing.

Edit: 3. Attempts to get rid of the criminal element backfiring.

So, since 2018, it's gotten worse, YoY - and we're meant to believe it will suddenly get better this year or the next?
