Was switched off from 4-5pm in Stage 1.

Double whammy incoming ... off from 8pm in Stage 2.

Am not amused.

What I felt like doing when I checked Gridwatch just now:

Well, had my share for the night, and the wife was finally peeved off enough!

She's now going to make a contribution to my PV install Inverter and batteries to come next week, w00p w00p

What are you getting?

Edit: asking because my wife feels the same...

 

[MrR]

Was hit with stage 2 at 20:00. 20:49 the power came back on.

Should I risk switching things on again?

Can you believe the latest on Twitter from ESKOM...check the last post last.... View attachment 216064

I cannot believe all have missed this:
Quoting Lynnne Brown" An additional 160 000 households were connected to grid".etc,
They cannot keep the lights on with what we have...

Am I a retard thinking the fools with nice electrical connections will wait many years before all works. By that time all will have been stolen. So they must start again
