Unfortunately it looks like Eskom has managed to deplete our reserves at Steenbras.

The only thing this really means though is that we all know Eskom is having a bit of a tantrum....

I can just imagine Brian sitting in his plush office at milliwatt Park saying "They turned us down? Don't they know who we are? Turn the fekkers off".
