I'm loving my tablets more and more each day. Eskom is saving me a ton in games.

Just spoke to a buddy whose boet is with Eskom, he says that we are already running on our backup generators and the load shedding is to save diesel supplies, if one of those generators fails; we will then have a m**rse problem on our hands. Also, because we have been running on those generators which is supposed to be our backup power, no maintenance has been happening on them, so you have to imagine what state they are in.

Well, in the media, it's always been reported as "unlikely"; but this is now the second time in a week that I've heard the same story from employees at Eskom.

/In before stage 2

If we stay on stage 1, my slot is only at 22:00, so will be in bed by then.
