Attempting to squoze productive waking hours into increments of electricity supply - 7,5 to 9 hours a day without any. What a flippin' joke. A very bad one. Stage 6 loadshedding (there are 8, at which stage we may as well all go back to bed). With the so-called 'provider' already implementing scheduled outages, what do their employees do? Go on strike of course! While they may have legitimate grievances, it's a death knell for many who just can't function like this, and a huge knock in terms of any tenuously remaining confidence in the country as a whole, not to mention seriously inconvenient for people who don't have luxury of access to alternative sources of power, causes damage to appliances, etc., etc. Oh and crime goes through the roof, or the door, in this instance - the entire contents of a substation were stolen during loadshedding the other day. All of it - the whole lot - ripped out. Corruption, stupidity and shortsightedness - the perfect recipe for disaster. It's a damn shame. Will the last person to leave please blow out the candle.
Venting - phew! Sorry guys. Off to charge things before the prince of darkness descends again.
