Two warnings in a row

10 October 2015 By Alan Straton

Eskom tweeted earlier today; “Load shedding probability is low for today. Thank you for saving electricity, every bit saved makes a difference. #LiveLightly”

Load shedding probability is low for today. Thank you for saving electricity, every bit saved makes a difference. #LiveLightly

— Eskom Hld SOC Ltd (@Eskom_SA) October 10, 2015

Whilst we appreciate and are grateful for the feedback from Eskom one cannot help but thinking that this renewed uptake of warnings and communication could just be foreplay ahead of some major downtime again – #HopingIAmWrong

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
