Load shedding.. are you prepared ??

[WHeunis]

Well... this is very interresting.
I think 99% of the corrupt gov members from the Mpumalanga cabinet, live in my area...

I havent been loadshed ONCE yet...

Checked the loadshedding tabes they host on their website, and true! My area is marked for zero loadshedding!

EDIT: to clarify, my area is not marked for any loadshedding... not like there was a column for "these lucky bastards"...

Am I ready? Only for possibly 2 weeks...still stocking up on non-perishables and gas. Only have one 9kg gas bottle at hand and a 950w geny for the fridge. Need to still get another gas bottle, as many extra litres of diesel for the geny and possibly a weapon or two...

Was not a good day

Damn, that sucks.

So I shut down all the computers here in anticipation of the shed, and then... nothing. The bastards don't cut the power, really pisses me off.

That is just as annoying as load shedding...drives me crazy. And then just as you decide they've skipped you and you switch everything back on........darkness

 

[zadiac]

Loadshedding in full swing right here now. Gennie is purring outside and I'm watching movies

 

[Ashley A]

[Arthster]

Did you know you can charge your Istick of an MVP.

• Garden service arrives here at 6:40am.
• Power dies at 7:00am
• 10:00am I'm wondering why the power is still off. Phone my neighbor.
• Discover that is was the earth leakage switch, and not load shedding.

That sucks! Hopefully you won't get load shedded today because of that

That sucks big time!

It really did...6+ hours without power
I try to be positive though, last year the power went down for 3 days...that was definitely worse

3 days I could barely manage 24hrs when a storm messed up our cables.
