Stage 6, stage 8....when we get to a total black out? Lets bet.

I thought stage 8 was when Eishkom comes to your house to blow out the candles.

Seriously though, we run a Generator (roughly 50l of diesel per day) UPS and inverters

We cannot afford spikes or down time.

Then you have staff that bitch and moan when there is no hot water for their coffee

I predict we will hit at least stage 8 this week.

As inconvenient as that may be, my bigger concern is water supply...and sewerage.....

If not this week we will hit stage 8 very soon.

Those meetings Cyril stayed in SAfor will be cancelled due to loadshedding not that they would do anything productive anyway..

For some of us living uphills we already frequently lose water as we rely on pumping to water towers.

Solar isn't enough, you need rainwater tanks too.

Still I like this country apart from that. And the potholes. Broken traffic lights and the tiger loose in the south.

I used to have hope for this country but now I am gatvol. Dont want to leave but it may the only way to get a better life for my family.

I gave up on this country many years ago, but moving isn't an option so I'm just trapped here

The whole grid could go down, that would be a lot worse than stage 8. And the way things are going, you have to wonder about that one.

If You had a chance to listen to Ted Bloem's interview on Jacaranda radio it is Estimated R 500 Billion has been stolen through corruption at Eskom in the last ten years. So we as the consumer are financing Eskom's Corruption.
