Even if they are voted out, the socialist DA or EFF is not going to fix Eskom ever.
I'm needing electric for the somebody.

Agreed no fixing Eskom, but with the DA we have an increased chance of getting competition in to fill the void. Then we can let Eskom die.

That sounds like privatizing electricity production, cue in the union strikes.

What competition? Oh you mean the monopolization of private production with the DA as forced middleman? Never gonna happen, the SA state (any ruling party) will never again supply reliable affordable electricity to SA. We should be fighting their socialist solar policy that is depressing individual solar uptake.

Quick question, I have this generator:
www.adendorff.co.za
It runs the following type of equipment with no issues:
1. Pumps
2. Fridges
3. Microwaves etc.
My query since I have been without power and I am working from home, can I use it to run the following without damaging it:
MAC AFRIC 6.5 kVA (5 KW) Standby Petrol Generator (with T.F.V meter) - Adendorff Machinery Mart
A well-sized generator that can power the average South African home. Made with ease of use in mind, this generator has an integrated wheel and handle design as well as an electric start. Petrol Electric (key) start Compact and Mobile

What are the possible consequences? I dont mind taking a chance on my own equipment, but not on the work laptop.

A silver lining that there is a meeting with union leaders and the CEO today sometime. It could be either good or bad as the strike could escalate. Hendrina, for example, has only one boiler on load due to the strike. Camden have joined the protest as of this morning, but it seems it hasn't affected their load. Not yet anyway.
