Same, though I'm out from 8pm tomorrow night

Yeah, 9pm to 00:00 for me. Hope it goes back to stage 2 before that.

Stage 2 from 11pm to 9am,then 4 again

Twats... They could have gone to Stage 2 at like 8pm and I would have been happy with that.

I don't really see why they couldn't tbh

29 mins to go in the darkness... thank goodness Vodacom is still up after 2.5 hours.

You're lucky there as well, FNB is flat after 2 hours, than there's another 2 and a half to go. Luckily my router ups can go past 8.

I haven't experienced loadshedding since 2018, I seem to be in a really small area that goes unaffected.

I only realise this when I have to go to a shop and hear generators as I walk along.

Close to Chris Barnard Hospital or close to what in CBD?

Lucky we dont get oppo find x2 pro locally, just imagine the load with people having 65 watt cellphone chargers !

Perspective: 60W globes were the norm a few years ago. 100W for outside and if you lived in a cave.

These parts of Cape Town don’t get load shedding on purpose - here’s why | Business Insider

These areas, which include the upmarket suburbs of Gardens and Vredehoek, did not have load shedding in the past week.

So our Stage 4 that was supposed to start at 22h and only last until 23h due to reverting back to Stage 2 at 23h, started about 10 minutes late and only last about 20 minutes or something.

What a waste of prepping for that.

Our power in Erasmuskloof (Pta East) went off at 19h00 last night and still off, the Tshwane supposedly world class African city Twitter page has nothing, tells you to report the fault to a SMS number but did that twice with zero response.

Anyone with any idea what's going on?

Yirre this makes me so angry. "Eish we had break down and the stuff is old so eish expect more breakdowns." (Before anyone gets their panties in a twist thinking its some kind of racial slur with my "eish" it's not, it's go at the stupidity) FFS we've had 12 years of this, this old equipement excuse doesn't wash any more. They have had more than enough time to build new generating units and invest in new infustructure. Seriously ever mother trucking one of Eishkoms CEO's and senior board of the last 12 years should be fusking shot for treason. Instead of getting of their asses and getting something done, it's been looting and corruption.
