“The Board and Executive Management have met twice in the past two days, with the Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr Pravin Gordhan, to interrogate the systemic causes of the load shedding and the measures being taken to repair breakdowns,” the statement said.

“It has been agreed that an urgent culture change and high-level competence enhancement across all 44,000 staff, which the GCE began upon his arrival, should be accelerated, promoted and strongly supported.”

We were supposed to be 20:00 to 00:30 and it has not happened, perhaps something stabilized ?

I'm thinking of the Zuma faction trying to destabilise the country. This is South Africa after all
(I was being a bit tongue in cheek earlier, should have made it obvious perhaps :giggle: )

Nothing would surprise me, they have a powerful and very well connected following and would certainly be capable.

Oh, and these are great little things for keeping your router going. For the usual 2 and a half hour load shedding for me, it only drops to 75%.

I got the last one from the Incredible in the mall this week. Very impressed.

I would like to get an inverter to run the whole house or at least keep the fridges and lights on, but I've no idea where to start looking. I swear when it comes to electricity I have some mental block that stops me understanding wtf is going on.
