Stage 6 load-shedding sticking around until the weekend

Eskom will bump up load-shedding to stage 6 on Thursday afternoon and throughout Friday, while the weekend will also require continuous load-shedding at stage 4.

The utility said it was compelled to take this “unprecedented step” to conserve emergency generation capacity and safeguard the power system amid a continued unlawful strike by its workers.

When do we start calling treason, treason?

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

I thought the strike was over?

 

[Herr der Verboten]

When do we start calling treason, treason?

When we stop calling the terrorists a government?

 

[Devon101]

I miss the days of Stage 2 from 5PM till 10PM.

I thought the strike was over?

Nope. Eskom's offer was rejected.

 

[AlphaJohn]

Oh goody!

Wonder if I'll get another 5 hour stunt like last night, or the scheduled 4 hours.

Nope. Eskom's offer was rejected.

Luckily not for Cape Town.

City will continue to shield residents from two stages of load-shedding amidst Stage 6 devastation

 

[ShakeSpeer]

So Stage 4 replaced Stage 2 as the entry level ?

Luckily not for Cape Town.

City will continue to shield residents from two stages of load-shedding amidst Stage 6 devastation

That was yesterdays news. Need to see what will happen today.

Doesn't help us none that confusion.
It seems the hardliners in the strike (maybe shadow SSA/RET) are insisting on the strike continuing and doing the intimidating no doubt.

Anyone hosting a Springboks watch party around Rivonia and doesn't have load shedding? I'd like to come please.

 

[dualmeister]

They seem to be confident that they can protect CT from anything above Stage 4.
We will see

Somewhere between or on 9 October 1963 and 12 June 1964

Same

Worse now. Had loadshedding from 10am to 12:00. It came on for 45min and went off. Still off now in Centurion. Probably some substation issue by the time this comes back on it's time for the next double slot 18:00 to 22:30.....

Sigh.

Had the same issue not long ago, they seemed to exclude our area from load shedding the next day at least.

Lets hope its the same for you.
