Yup just their promises.

Eskom is successfully transformed from the best power utility in the world to one that fails on it's exclusive mandate and lies to consumers.

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Let us spread the glad tidings of cheer and joy...


...meh.

 

[SZN]

We are supposed to be off now, 12:00-14:00, but we still have power. Can't complain.

Their Facebook page didn't say anything except low for this morning and high for the evening and then we went off at 10:00.

[Beachless]

My invertor is in for repairs

They are very inconsistent. Yesterday an expected Cape Town area 9 didn't happen on client's site.
