Not quite the song of our nation, we're not Nigeria yet :), the song of our nation if they were running 12 hours a day.

My company's genny been singing that song for last week and a half..... cable theft.

Edit: aand we are back after 9 days...

Worst part to me about power cuts is how they screw up (fixed) LTE signal strength & speeds after each outage.

Sorry Eskom but even with the cooler weather today I still need to run the aircon tonight and batteries are being kept for load shedding.

Only managed to generate 24kwh for today. Screenshot_20220202-201541_SOLARMAN%20Smart.jpg

Scheduled 8-10pm but still on, would honestly prefer that it went off, gives one some hope that there is still something that Eskom can run properly.

Ours went off sharply at 4pm this afternoon, as scheduled.

But not directly controlled by Eskom, so after all these years the locals have presumably had enough practice getting it right.

When are these fart sniffers going to fix their load shedding website? The damn thing has been broken since October 2021.

Sure Ted Bloom, not taking into account this is a snapshot not the entirety of load shedding.
