Prepare for heavy load shedding on Sunday

Eskom announced on Friday that load shedding would be implemented on Sunday from 08:00 until 22:00.

And when summer arrives what will their excuse for load shedding be?

Wet coal from the rain.

sun turns coal into diamonds...useless as burning material

Noticed that, did you? I brought it to the metro's attention and you can guess their response. Hauw?

 

[CeeBee]

"We would like to thank our customers for their patience and support ..."
LOL.... i don't know anybody who has any support for or patience with this
its forced onto us, so we have to go with it, or provide for ourselves.
all the while eskom continues to refuse to get serious about fixing the problems, and continues to waste money and resources, ... so don't expect any understanding or support or patience from us.

guess we have to be thankful for small favours, ... they letting us know in advance to prepare for tomorrow, make sure everything is charged up

 

[TEXTILE GUY]

Seriously though

Why a Sunday? The is very little demand from industry and residential on Sunday.

Could this be maintenance or is just that these varks didn't get the increase they wanted, so they going all out to be snot kop ugly?

It's to "build up reserves"...

 

[TEXTILE GUY]

Build up reserves ..... Put electricity into little boxes for later

Unless this means pump stations, but then that's not an EC thing .... oh well.

Take it on the chin .... or up the ring as Eskom will have it. Bastids.
