Download the "Eskom se Push" app.

Very accurate and even sends push notifications as soon as load shedding gets scheduled.

Darn.

Well can't blame CoCT for that. Drivers making silly mistakes on the roads /sigh
Perhaps it was roadrage instigated by loadshedding.

Not so lucky this time. 8 pm to 10 pm and I cannot use the generator after 8.

Can't or choose not to? Ours keeps the kids awake so we opt not to use it after their bed time… except over the weekend then we let that puppy run.

 

[A Non Blonde]
