Last night our power went out at 17:40, went on at 22:20. So I guess I'll go sleep at 8 tonight when it goes off

Noooooooo!

Load shedding as from 16:00 yesterday, suppose to stop at 18:30, but only came back on at 04:30 this morning, got a feeling this will happen again today.

I foresee Stage 3 by 17:00 today :crying:

Luckily I woke up 15 minutes earlier than usual this morning, as soon as I saw the warning I had just enough time to still make coffee for my wife. Guess from now on if I'm on stage 1 in this time slot I'll be checking my phone at 05h45

PS - MickeyD, stage 2 from 14h00, no doubt. Probably closer to 12 I reckon :p

They not sticking to schedule anymore, just assume banana Africa power supply - if it's on use it like it might be the last time you get it!

Mine came back at 3:30 - I was only out for 11,5 hours...I'm just lucky like that ;)

Who is they? Eskom or your municipality?
Have you checked, some areas like Tshwane changed their schedule a few weeks back?
Ekhureleni sticking to the schedule, and been able to plan

Maybe in your area...

They stick to their schedule religiously down here in Durbs.
