Stage 2 loadshedding from today until... 11pm Monday

[Apogee]

Do they just leave the conveyor belts up to their own devices until it breaks?

Is there nobody monitoring it?

We are proper 3rd world now. 2021 gonna make for a hell of a year.

Cannot argue with this - groot kak incoming.

What Eskom has taught me is to prepare for a crisis as opposed to reacting to one..

Just received my 2 new batteries for the inverter

I hope you charged them.

Come on everyone, Eskom is just trying to help us SAVE the valuable electricity we have left this whole thing is actually just a massive enviro-saving initiative

/sarcasm points for the week expired

Because communism is better!

If only they were communists.

Learn to live with less, to make room for more.
Something, something.

This must be what it is like to live in Zimbabwe.

I’ve done my fair share of remote work north of our borders and I can confirm we are still a way off. When water shedding starts we’ll be catching up....oh wait.

If only they were communists.

Champaign socialists.

First, the ANC takes away our booze and now their due to their utter incompetence and thievery, we won't have power again. What a bunch of bastards!

You know what, at this point I'd be willing to give it a try.

Good, but why not make it a fixed thing. It is clearly a pattern by now.

My one packed in gonna have to run on genny

Viva! Such a good story to tell. Wow, ANC, you really are doing us proud

Just like you slacktivism c***s

At least you did your best by making a reply. That really showed them.

 

[Lupus]

@Lupus has some good stats that he usually posts up for us.

But I do feel the news won't be good what with the unplanned maintenance level sitting at nearly 15'000MW

They were burning diesel last night and quite a bit of pumped storage, though it started off reasonably well this week and just went downhill from Tuesday.

 

[CartoonFan]

When Eskom lost 14200MW in 2019 we went to stage 6. They're down over 15000MW now. Things will likely get worse as the week progresses.

No need to. It's happening right now, which is why we have loadshedding.

 

[Vrotappel]

Well done ANC!

VIVA

The economy is not even running at 50% and you cannot provide power.
