That's normally what happens there....
Yip - that APP is superb - instant updates and now on iOS
Highly likely - Eskom lost 1900MW yesterday due to a fault at the Moz hydro-electric dam. Stage 3 looking real for later.
Cahora Bassa hydro electric generators have a fault in Mozambique = 1900MW loss as of yesterday.
That is Stage 2 right there in one loss

Was paging through a Madam & Eve last night (The Madams are Restless, published in 2000) and came across this gem.
Even in 2000 Madam & Eve saw it!

I didn't anticipate this BS at all!Unless schit hits the fan and they announce stage 3b, I'm safe today
Power is off at home because they moved to stage 2, LOL.
What's worse is my wife and youngest are at home, sick. So the youngster will be bored out of her skull until 10 when it comes back on.

You know, I still think this is linked to the failed price increase.
But I've actually gotten to the point now where I don't care. FU Eskom and your loadshedding, I will make a plan around it, go ahead and shed to your hearts content.
Cobb to cook, pc\drives\server for TV movies that can run on inverter\UPS, geyser that only needs power for a hour to heat and insulated to last 12+ hours, I'm good for now.

Our power went out at 08:00, no stage schedule, then they announced stage 2. Our domestic called at 06:something saying that they have no power since early morning, also no schedule.

I see a Stage 3 at 4pm...
Friday 6pm-8pm slot is ours at home whether Stage 1 or 2...
Had a gas hob/stove installed 2 weeks ago. Took lamb chops out to defrost this morning in anticipation of my first load shedding supper free of the grid
Confirmed with source or anticipation?
