Think he needs another roadshow.Seems as though the minster of electricity's bribes only lasted so long... things back to normal and criminals are breaking things again

You can't expect the dude to overwork you know.... Government employees work at most 30% efficiency and if you overwork you will be laughed at and pushed out of the corruption circle
As soon as he is finished at the last power station, he needs to be transported back to the 1st one he visited and start the whole show again.

Stole the cables?
The coal plants actually tend to function better in colder weather. As long as the coal doesn't get wet or there isn't too much mist of course.

We were fine until 10pm when we went off for shedding, across the road has power, neighbour has power on the one side, but the entire other side is off and has been off since shedding, we've hit 12 hours now
Probably a circuit breaker box issue then.

Well my Freezer & Groceries is thanking me right now for buying the Power station last month.
At least I am not as worried as before re when power is returning.

With them who knows, it probably could've been fixed in minutes if someone actually went out.

Look I did keep my batteries fully charged till the power went off, pretty much the moment they said it was stage 3 and the big storm blew in, was like just in case. Thank frak I did cause yeah this morning I was on around 70% batteries, but I'll need power today to top up for tonight again, as once again I've got the same schedule.

Still had enough juice this morning on both to last me till nightfall. If the power doesn't return before then, the old gas guzzler she is gonna be singing to the neighbors to top me up.
Wasnt inna mood to hook up the solar, well mostly cause I wasn't expecting sunlight.

I was referring to increased demand when it gets cold.
Completely forgot you Durban okes usually break out the heaters and jersey's when it hits 20°c.
