Eskom fright of the day

18 May 2015 By Alan Straton

I have learned to check three places for hints of load shedding – one of which is the Eskom Twitter account.

And my cynical mind did get a bit of a fright upon reading dear Eskom’s latest tweet which says; “There is a high probability of load shedding today, dependent on the performance of the power plant.”

Plant? Surely that should read Plants?

I sincerely hope that is a typing error (exclusion) and not a fact.

Good Morning there is a high probability of #Load_Shedding today, dependent on the performance of the power plant.
