Firstly they didn't delay repairs, they delayed replacement, the unit is still down for refueling, repairs and maintenance as per it's usual 400 day cycle.
Secondly, I did not author that title, you might want to ask Jan

It'll all collapse catastrophically , can already see it, longer black outs I predict 4hrs coming soon.

When they try turn it on again it often just trips again or worse something blows, cant imagine this stuff is designed to be turned on and off like this.

Johannesburg already had 4 hours, honestly part of me wants that back as with the 4 hour one we'd only have 2 sessions a day at stage 4, whereas we get 3 now and it's with a 6 hour gap, whereas the 4 hour ones had a 12 hour one.

Agreed. The 4 hour sessions were a lot more convenient from a planning perspective.
