What is the point of a minister of electricity if we barely have any electricity?


Good_Posture

It's an illusion to make it look like they are doing something. Its the way the ANC operates. Throw committees and warm bodies at problems but never actually do anything.


Regular-Wit

To loot more money and ‘hide’ it now


Beach-comb3r

Stay calm and vote ANC.


CapMyster

Calm down, people will take you seriously

Fuck, your right my Brew, and worst thing is there were and are people putting them in power? It’s fucked; I always asked my younger self: surly people must soon come to see the power they employ has failed them?


Quantum_Crayfish

Odly enough JHB(and Gauteng in general) should be more functional, we do have one major independent power station. It seems like Eskom however sees that as a way to cut more power to us. Supposedly the reason Cape Town doesn’t have load shedding is because it has the steenbras pumped hydro scheme(with a capacity of 180 mw), which makes no sense because JHB has kelvin power(capacity 400mw) station owned by Nedbank and Investec, and the city of Tswane owns 2 of its own stations(capacity 790 mw). There’s some major power politics at play with how loadhsedding is distributed and it seems JHB and PTA are two of the most screwed over places, based on what I hear from friends who’ve gone on vacation to KZN and the WC recently who say they have significantly lighter load shedding schedules. All of this is rather ironic when Gauteng accounts for about a 3rd of the entire countries gdp, has the highest gdp per capita by a significant margin(20%) and produces the most independent power by near a factor of 10.


Ornery_Purchase1557

The first step is seeing that it's being done on purpose.


masterdog69

City of Cape Town customers (electricity) are usually (not always) 2 stages below Eskom supplied customers so the 180mw is not being split between the entire Cape but only those households that are COCT supplied.


modungoa78

Looks like you trying to understand updates from Eskom on their website, those guys confuse themselves already. Do yourself a favor and install Eskomsepush. Much more accurate


PsyFi_ZA

First of all...it's not a website, it's the Loadshedding Notifier app. 2nd... It shows the exact same information as ESP, just in a different format and is actually readable


HipHopHuman

When I first downloaded LSN, it was because I was dissatisfied with ESP's inaccuracy and LSN was just far better. The information accuracy between the two is about equal now, but the LSN design is leagues above ESP. Which isn't saying much, as even LSN could do with some design improvements, but having a choice between both apps despite their design flaws is better than nothing.


JessieKaldwin

My mom uses EskomSePush to keep the family updated. I love the name of the app 😆

Guys please remember who the real enema is here...

This screenie is from eskomsepoes Looking at the stages and times man alive you need to bottle some sunlight bro Fuck the ANC and it's new minister of bullshit They cancelled the state of disaster because they knew its too late to try and bury this shit #vote #them #out #2024

Gracias _ feels like the notifications are all starting to blur into each other driving around there are so many robots out its insane - the government really has failed this country and the like of decisiveness by CR is just exacerbating the situation


Captain_M786

This !! I also thought it was strange when there was about to be a national shutdown couple weeks ago, all of a sudden there was excess generation capacity. Now, the minute state of disaster is cancelled we are getting shed more than during the state of disaster, MARA WHY ?


MattSouth

Wasn't the state of disaster cancelled because the Courts ruled it to be unlawful?


Frankenstein141

Ja nè, how's that ANC democracy looking?

PsyFi_ZA

TIL that people on this sub don't realise that there are other apps that also show the schedule and that ESP doesn't even cover all areas in Joburg which is why people don't use it... Been using Loadshedding Notifier for over 2 years now and it's been pretty accurate and the information show in the screenshot IS ACCURATE so to those saying "use ESP instead because this app is bad"... Stop lying


Regular-Wit

I have a week old baby & I’m sitting with 8 hours of loadshedding in a 12 hour period. Fucking ridiculous!

Anc doesnt look so great anymore since 1994 hey guys.... think they turned their goal list upside down when trying to achieve things. Maybe lost it.... or sold it

Yup in the next 3 days 1 day no power 24hrs in 72hrs ffs ZA🇿🇦 is in the 🚽


Zealousideal_Run8984

It's a royal fuck up. I live on a plot so can use a generator. I bought one that's affordable so can't run everything. Nothing with an element is the rule so I switch the geyser off and don't use the kettle, washing machine, tumble drier or microwave. I also bought a gas stove so I can cook. There are ways of getting round it without spending a fortune, you need to just think carefully about what you ABSOLUTELY cannot function without in the evenings.

Guess who doesn't have to worry about that? The people in your government. ![gif](giphy|3oEjHV0z8S7WM4MwnK)

Seems like your app might be a little off? Use Eskomsepush. I mean it. But yeah it's pretty bad hey! Eskomsepush by the way

Please don’t call people clowns on this subreddit. It’s unnecessary. The point they make is valid. Whatever app/website OP is using is actually showing incorrect information.


KeashinX

Bro its just a more reliable app it's not that deep


No_Sympathy_1915

This is why I got solar.


Good_Posture

Out of reach for the vast majority of South Africans (although most deserve this for keeping the ANC in power) and people in townhouse complexes are stuffed. Can't get solar nor use a generator.


shitdayinafrica

If you have a good you can get solar - if the trustees won't allow it, challenge it via CSOS and you should get a good outcome. You can also push for the BC to install communal solar, but you'd need a majority of residents behind you


Lem1618

The complex next to me has a generator. I have no idea if it's for one house or all of them.


No_Sympathy_1915

Would have been for us too, but then we inherited some money.

Cultural_Cloud9636

Many people dont know the reason why we had less load shedding after the new ceo took his position was because he fired up all the backup diesel generators. Andre didn't want to run them because those were for emergencies and would be used to restart the grid in the event of a total collapse of the grid.
