He crapped on me, and said I was talking rubbish, some time ago for suggesting that Eskom was useless and he maintains they are a sterling organisation with great, hard working highly skilled people (he didn't mention very well paid). We should be praising them for supplying what power we are lucky enough to get. I'm sure there are these type of people there (like at SANRAL) but they do not seem to be making any discernible improvement for whatever reason.I also remember him saying something along the lines of "watch out for Feb/March, that's when it will be a real mess" and so far he appears to be right on the money.

I am not looking forward to loadshedding in winter... bye bye 44kva's worth of underfloor heating... Do you have a transfer switch installed, or are you planning to do the switching all manually?

We should secede from the Republic, and form a new separate nation called Cape Province, then we keep Koeberg, and sell excess power to South Africa. Visas to enter the Cape Province are only valid for 3 days at a time, and we don't allow day visitors. Allrounder and Wannabe 2

Frosty Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Lod shedding only affects my neighbours... and my coffee machine, but I at least have a mokka pot as backup.
