I got mine at PC Link. It was a bit more. But look around at every shop that sells it.

It's not an island, it's the distribution agent in Johannesburg, they just have a way to mitigate the 200MW Eskom is shedding.
 
Brackenfell CT, OFF at 02:06, back at 04:06. Sunday, off at 10:04 back at 12:10.
Pretty stable 2 hours.
Alarm system sends out an alert easy to track.
Any longer outages have to be due to some other cause.
 
Your headline is misleading, makes it sound like there'll be no power 21 hours each day
 
For us, it varies between 0, 2 and 4 hours per day. Interesting point. I am going to modify my SS to show that stat.

I once also mentioned this and was torn a new one on here by certain MyBB members, saying that it can just be treated like a 4-way stop....:rolleyes:

What BS...

South Africans are way to stupid for this. Drove through Kuilsriver yesterday with the traffic lights dead, it's just a free for all.

If you have 3 lanes approaching from 4 sides...WHO determines which of those 12 cars arrived first and should go first?

It is just not practical and the stupid part is when people say treat it like a 4-way stop.

It's impossible...

Why do tragic departments not have a load shedding schedule with the big problem crossings identified and then have people there to assist?

I would love to ask any "station commander" or wtf they are called, this question and hear the answer...

I do get it doesn't work and it in't obvious but people are dumb af, it is who stops at the line first, if 2 people stop same time one must just let he other guy and then a pattern develops, it isn't difficult, but with people the way they are you always get some folk who will jump their turn or another who seems to have no clue wtf is going on and then everyone is affected.

as for the trafffic department, it is like the guavamint, they don't actually give a fsck about you.

Most roads are not that large, I'd agree that the larger intersections do critically need a pig standing there, the small one shouldn't need a traffic cop, shouldn't, but as I said you get people that just speeds through. So it's not really a workable solution. Best solution would be to not have the traffic lights go out when load shedding hits.
 
Any other country : takes a step forward... into the future...
THIS KUNTRY : for every one step forward, we go three steps back !

Stop racism, racism begins with you, dont practice racism... then what is BEE status ???

Eishkom rather blow themselves up with all of their power stations, we'll be better without electricity since the way things are and getting worse each and every week, plus without any electricity at all, most of all the looting will stop since we are giving them too much rope only to hang ourselves, the hard working people that own houses and businesses that is!

Dont believe the lies upon lies from eishkom, they are like magicians, they misdirect and throw you off course, make you believe that what you see and hear is whats going on.... you'll realize as you align the pieces of the puzzles together that a lot of things don't make sense what eishkom and others tell you, they make one statement which is serious, and then a few days to a week later, they deny that they ever made that statement to the public !!! Just like this kuntry, one huge open source of denial !
