Loadshedding pain

[RoSsIkId]

As i am starting to write this its 20:15.

Area should have started loadshed at 20:00.

Tv is off and plugged pff at main light. Battery charger is off. Full battery with filled bottle in reo. Coffee made and candles already lit.

And here i am waiting for the power to go off as its my turn to give back to SA.

And at 20:17 i find out its on stage 1 again. So now i have to put off the candles and so on.

Bloody bastids

Bah, Thanks for reminding me that Eishkom will have Rooihuiskraal back in the 'dark ages' in less than an hour.
With such a crapload of unread forum posts, I'd probably be better off to go in to the office or start drinking seriously for 5 minutes.
Now, where's that coin ?

Is the loadshedding there to stay permanently?

Really not sure @Tom
At this stage I think it may be around for a year or two - until the new powerplants get up to full production
But its not clear

Big dampener on the economy, foreign investment and morale

...nothing learned since 2008 then. I thought it would just be for short term, maybe just during some maintenance periods of the power plants. Its a shame.
