They announced that there would be load shedding at 5:30pm… at exactly 5:30pm?

I have no idea whether Cape Town has reduced load shedding. They haven't announced anything, so I will accept the Eskom schedule and, as always, my area is shed at the worst times.

Eskom Stage 3, CoCT Stage 1.

Used it last week for a 50 hour power failure - ran it from 07h00 to 19h00 each day, then this week for 3 hours on Thursday & then again yesterday for a 5 1/2 hour power interruption - the Observatory substation power feed to our area has major issues - only used around 10 - 12 litres so far (it has a 15 litre fuel tank)- topped up the tank from my 25 litre jerry can when I shut if off yesterday afternoon.

It runs ALL of my electronics - PC, TV, streaming box, Home Theatre system, 2 x LTE routers & 2 x fridges (a bottom freezer fridge & a bar fridge) - as well as my neighbour's fridge & his TV, streaming box & fridge.

Used mine to top up batteries in the morning and evenings, but also had a 65 hour outage last week.

Yup but 400 bucks petrol vs chucking out meat

Going to get an inverter when I get paid next month so I can also do the same - run the Gennie during the day - to top up the batteries & run the fridges & LTE routers during the night...
