Ditto. And nothing tomorrow if they stick to the evening pattern.

Thanks for confirming, everyone .. and anyone I might not've incl. below.

Stage 1 from 5-10pm

Power will go off at 5 and come back online at 6. This was the case yesterday when I was in the 4-6 slot.

The slot is normally from 16h00 to 18h30 and you will be blacked out from 17h00 to 18h30.

No, you'll go off from 5 to 6

I assume they were not saving enough in stage 1 or some units went down.....

Guess I should be "thankful" for missing Mon-Wed this week after having 8 PM for five days last week.

I bet you Eskom has caused more people to consider leaving the country than politics ever did.

That's not good. My sister was from 8:00-10:30 and around 8:30 her power was back on due to stage changing..

Did not know about the change to stage 2 ,while cooking everything went dark, was too hungry so I ate half boiled pasta with Nando's sauce
