SA op Pad na Winter van Fase 4 en 5 Kragonderbrekings Weens Onversorgde Infrastruktuur wat Land se Ineenstorting Versnel!

Posted on Leave a comment

Suid-Afrika is op pad na ‘n winter van ontevredenheid, nie net as gevolg van die swak bestuurde Covid-reaksie nie, maar dit staar nou ook fase 4 en 5 beurtkrag in die gesig, omdat infrastruktuur verbrokkel het vanweë gebrek aan onderhoud. Die energiekenner Chris Yelland, direkteur van EE Business Intelligence, het gesê beurtkrag sal hierdie winter net vererger.

Die situasie is veral haglik in Johannesburg waar inwoners bykomende kragonderbrekings opdoen as gevolg van die stad se verbrokkelende infrastruktuur, bo en behalwe die onderbrekings wat Eskom opgelê het.

SA Facing Winter of Phase 4 & 5 Rolling Blackouts as Unmaintained Infrastructure Accelerates the Country’s Collapse!

Posted on Leave a comment

South Africa is headed for a winter of discontent, not only due to the badly managed Covid response, but it has surpassed yet another point of no return with phase 4 and 5 load shedding coming, due to infrastructure crumbling from lack of maintenance. Energy expert Chris Yelland, director of EE Business Intelligence, has said load shedding will only worsen this winter.

The situation is especially dire in Johannesburg where residents are suffering additional power outages, as a direct result of the City’s crumbling infrastructure, besides those imposed by Eskom.

Some families in Johannesburg have to survive for a week or more without any electricity because City Power’s electricians can’t cope with all the outages caused by decaying and crumbling infrastructure and illegal connections caused by years of ANC mismanagement.

Many residents of Johannesburg were also without water this week because the lack of electricity also means water pumps can’t fill up water r

High Ranking Black Police Officers Drinking At Funeral Party Assault White Neighbourhood Watch Member Filming Them Disobeying Lockdown Regulations!

Posted on Leave a comment

#AbuseOfPower In yet another example of police officers disobeying lockdown regulations and abusing their power, high ranking police officers whose illegal activity was filmed by a neighbourhood watch member at a popular pub, Chillas in Vanderbijlpark, assaulted the cameraman and deleted the footage! This nationwide abuse of power and petty vindictive interpretation of the law in many cases, by the police has many wondering if the lockdown regulations are turning SA into a corrupt Police State.

Mr Wayne Scholtz (53), a Neighborhood watch member from Vanderbijlpark, was assaulted on Wednesday in front of a popular pub in Vanderbijlpark when he stopped to take a cellphone video of a group of men, including police officers, standing outside the well known pub drinking beer. According to a VF+ Councillor, Gerda Senekal, there was a funeral after party held at the premises on Wednesday which was attended by several senior Police officers. This would of course be against

Eskom Sinks To Lowest Output Ever, With Dim Outlook, Despite Two New White Managers Tasked With Reversing Mind Numbing Corruption From 25 Years of ANC Plunder & Misrule!

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom has reached a historic low in terms of output during the last month. This slow rot and decay is then also the historic achievement, or lowpoint of the ANC, with its implementation of mind numbing and all pervasive corruption, crony tender practices and their Africanization or black quota recruitment policies and cadre deployment program.

In other words their implementation of #TheAfricanWay has finally led to more than a third of Eskom’s installed generating capacity being out of order in January 2020. Only 61,5% of its generating units are able to produce power at the moment. Chris Yelland, an energy expert, told Netwerk24 that this is the worst performance level for Eskom ever.

Yelland called Eskom’s current performance a historic low. A shocking 28,41 % of total Eskom capacity was not available in the past month due to Eskom’s power units breaking down. Units breaking down can only be attributed to a lack of maintenance over a long period of time. Eskom

Brace yourself for stage 8 #RollingBlackOuts or 10-hour daily blackout, as municipalities are preparing for the worst

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom was forced to implement stage 6 load shedding in December – its worst ever blackout – sending the country into a panic as not many people were aware of what that stage actually meant for them.

Municipalities too, were caught off-guard, with Johannesburg electricity distributor City Power saying at the time that it had no load-shedding schedule for Stage 6.

The year is 2020, and generation and maintenance challenges continue to mount at the state company which generates 96% of South Africa’s electricity.

As a result, all municipalities have been advised to adjust their load shedding schedule up to stage 8, the Buffalo City Municipality said in a statement on Saturday (11 January).

With each stage representing a curtailment of 5% of the national load, stage 8 will equate to 40% of the load being shed, the municipality said.

Under the previous load shedding schedule, four stages were implemented with between 1,000 MW and 4,000 MW of the national

Hello darkness my old Friend! Brace for more Stage 6 load-shedding as Eskom breakdowns rise

Posted on Leave a comment

Stage 6 load-shedding, which has happened only once before, looks set to become a far more common occurrence as Eskom’s plant breakdowns remain at dangerously high levels.

Stage 6 means 6,000MW are dropped from the grid to avoid the system becoming unstable. In Gauteng, where load-shedding intervals last four hours, Eskom customers could be without electricity for an average of 10 hours a day.

Over the weekend, Eskom went to Stage 2 load-shedding, dropping 2,000MW from the grid. But had demand been at normal levels with everyone back at work, it would have been necessary to move to Stage 6 on Saturday and Sunday.

Demand over the holiday period is about 4,000MW lower than normal. Chris Yelland, who is MD at EE Business Intelligence, which tracks demand and Eskom plant performance, says that in the last week of January 2018 electricity demand was at 28,864MW. In the last week of December demand had dropped as low as 25,294MW.

Eskom says plant breakdowns mus
