Rolling blackouts in South Africa continues

Not that ya all will be much interested but us South Africans are sliding back into the dark ages..

The state owned enterprise, Eskom which produces our electricity cannot keep up with demand due to sabotage, thieft of cables, poor maintenance, over staffed with under qualified workforce, continuous strikes, corruption, not enough coal, the coal is wet, the diesel is being stolen, not enough funds to purchase enough coal and diesel....the list goes on..

We have been hit with Stage 6 load shedding.


Eskom announced in the early hours on Sunday morning that it had to urgently implement Stage 6 load shedding for the second time this year. 

This was after one generation unit each at Kusile and Kriel power stations tripped. 

It previously escalated from Stage 4 to 5 on Saturday morning after unit each at Kusile, Arnot and Camden, as well as two units at Duvha Power Station tripped.

The power utility did not say how long Stage 6 would last. It is expected to host a briefing at 10:00 on Sunday to update the public on the power crisis.
