Sigh

[Priapus]

How is this still an issue?!

What’s the latest? Do they at least have a plan?

 

[Mystic Twilight]

Still waiting.

They said 60% of the areas will coming online today. The weird thing is they are not willing to say what areas fall in this 60%.

I don't have high hopes that the other 40% will be on today.

It's Schrödinger's 60%, except it's always a different area to the one you ask about.

 

[joshuatree]

Aaand we back! Power gone again

Which area?

 

[Insint]

Seems that I was part of the lucky ones my power was restored Sunday evening.

 

[joshuatree]

On or off?

 

[ScottulusMaximus]

We been on since Sunday

 

[ScottulusMaximus]

"we will no longer loadshed Mooikloof because the substation will blow up"

Guess what happened.

 

[Magnum]

Well either you got Shed or the Substation blew up...AGAIN!

 

[joshuatree]

Being load shedded like the rest of us?

 

[ScottulusMaximus]

Loadshedding was 12-2, never came back.

 

[joshuatree]

Good Luck.

For **** sakes. Sorry all.

Hopefully it’s back by now?

Nothing on the news about a substation bursting into flames, that's a good sign.

Whoever promised not to loadshed the area is a buffoon though, you don't make such promises.

@ScottulusMaximus - are you also impacted by this outage in PTA? Power came back after LS then 10mins later everything went down again

Yip, 2pm as they probably turned your block on and tripped everyone

 

[ScottulusMaximus]

That's literally everything east of the N1
