We are so ****ed, unit 1 is only back around September now, and I'm calling 2024 instead. Hope people have their power affairs in order...
 
Once again power alert says we should be at lower stages but oh well
 
Someone made a joke yesterday about April fools and ESP and when I read it I thought I fell for it because we had our early morning loadshedding shift and then was skipped the afternoon and late last night. So I genuinely thought for a while that the stage 4 was a April fool joke by ESP

So what I'm getting is the Eskom gives you load-shedding and then you get City Power load-shedding (unscheduled) on top of that...

Yeah, city power used to be fairly good with all this... just a few years back 2-4hours and whatever problem you had was sorted... now, if you go down outside of load shedding, 30-48hours easy before they even acknowledge the fault and send someone to 'investigate'. They also no longer work 24/7, only day shifts which just adds to the problem

Yeah amazing when the new mayor took over, but he's going to fix potholes with an app

I watched my RA tar the road down from me yesterday... one massive canyon for 7/8years now, never repaired, they have now done it. Although I get why they repaired it, I do disagree with it. We pay some of the highest rates in the country now thanks to DA coming in and ****ing us over before ****ing off again, and we get 0 service, from water to trees, to streets. All this 'diy' does is set a standard, 'don't worry about fixing the road, the residents will get sick of complaining and do it themselves'. The roads need to crumble so the voters wake up and change their ways
