Let that be a lesson to you! Never trust an ANC cadre.

Stage 1 puts me in the 20:00 - 22:30 slot. C'mon Eskom, reduce that prognosis even further!

They said there wasn't going to be any planned load shedding this winter. That lasted about 8 days...

Nothing gets planned by the ANC, it's something western cultshas do.

If scheduled load shedding weren't bad enough, I've been bit twice this week by unscheduled maintenance due to faults. 5 hours on Monday from 9am-2pm and so far today since 8.30... And counting. So fcking fed-up with this s hit!!!!!!

28 Hours of planned load shedding (or resource replenishment if you will) so far this winter. *** knows how many hours in total if you add the unplanned load shedding.

No.

Electricity workers still on strike

WHILE worker unions say the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has kick-started the process of paying striking electricity and infrastructure workers’ scarce skills allowances, they have refused to return to work until the money is in their accounts.

Unions representing the workers said they have been informed by city bosses that the payroll office was processing the payments.

Samwu regional secretary Mqondisi Nodongwe said they met with mayor Danny Jordaan, his deputy Bicks Ndoni and chief whip Litho Suka on Wednesday evening, where it was agreed that the scarce skills allowance would be reinstated for the next three months.

“We agreed that we are going to enter into discussions with the leadership over the next three months on this scarce skills matter.

“But it was agreed that scarce skills allowance will be reinstated for three months until we have concluded the discussions,” Nodongwe said.

Imatu regional chairman Chris Hay said he received a call from the municipal pay office early this morning saying that they were processing the payments.

“I have no doubt that the money will be paid out by tomorrow,” Hay said.
