17:30 - 20:30 Slot for me. Cooked supper early, fueled up the generator, got the the candles ready. And then .... no load shedding!
I hate when that happens!

Perhaps a fault "Stage 1 #load_shedding has been suspended. Please note that it may take longer for power to be restored in some areas." https://twitter.com/Eskom_SA

Well the wind is gusting to 80 km/h here ...

The bastards!

Off at 10 pm. Never had that before.

Same here. Went off a couple of minutes before 10pm. I'm in the same area as you (Southern Cape.)

Actually you're right it was a few minutes before 10. Where are you? I'm in Hermanus.

And we're back.

Quite coincidental that we were off for 2 hours, the same amount of time we usually get loadshed (and the fact that we were scheduled for that time as well.) Things that make you go hmmm.
