I installed a solar system on my house in Knysna Municipality, then applied for a permit to make it legal. They told me that the system was "too large" even though it was sized appropriately for two houses (it is not too large by any metric). They said the inverter was too large, then relented and said there's too many panels (16?) and denied the application. I told them I'm going off-grid. They literally came and disconnected me from the grid and took my pre-paid meter. If that's not evil I don't know what is. SO I have no backup but haven't had a problem in over a year. I've reached the same conclusion as you did, they don't want people to generate their own power and be energy independent (essentially losing customers) despite the fact they can't/won't supply enough power to meet domestic needs. It's a joke, but it's a un-official policy. Glad to see someone else cover this issue. The fact that people can't get credit for oversupply (like the rest of the world) is another example of corruption/greed/stupidity...and the core problem in this country is that this should have been done a decade ago, and will never happen at this point, because they are not even starting the process. They should all be arrested, then something would happen.

Cape Town is already on a slightly different loadshedding schedule (usually 1 level lower than eskom). The big problem in Cape Town is the DA spinning us a story that they’re working towards energy independence but the projects they’re working on are hopelessly inadequate to actually get us independent. Unless Cape Town manages to build a modular nuclear generating facility (modular because it brings production online faster and maintenance doesn’t shut down 50% of the plant each time as at koeberg) we’re really on a highway to nowhere… “green energy” really isn’t a stable solution. It’s not working in first world countries that have thrown massive resources at it and it’s not a one and done solution with panels and batteries having a finite lifespan… no one is talking about the cost of production or the waste once they’re done…

Something does not gel. When you install solar, the grid is one of 3-inputs to your system. If the grid falls away (load shedding), you still have power from your panel and battery(ies). There is sweet f-all Eskom can do to stop that. Your power is now managed by an inverter, not Eskom.
Today Eskom came to my plaas to cut my power off, because I refused to pay the 2.5k levies per month, despite paying my bills. I had a fight with the cut off dude and it ended in a swearing fight and told him to F off, I know my rights, and what Eskom does is illegal.
Why is nobody asking the question, where does Eskom get the money for the court cases and lawyers? And why is that money not being used to supply electricity.?
Exactly. They should be fixing the mess they created rather than persecuting everyone who is doing something to relieve their suffering from that mess.
@@krugeriotkruger7886 fair enough... But I'm sure it still goes against the spirit of the constitution. The infrastructure is already there anyway... So you have any alternative supply but just still be loadshed? (So the distribution infrastructure just sits idle "just because"?). It wasn't the choice of South African citizens to have a monopoly of a energy utility and have no alternatives. Also... When the infrastructure lays dormant during loadshedding, that's when the infrastructure gets vandalised and cable gets stolen. If anything, they're doing Eskom a favour by reducing the chances of cable theft which becomes a direct cost to them, and to us, the taxpayers. It's win/win. But this is no doubt political interference again because it shows up those monumental dooses in the ANC government because we have to do it for ourselves.
@@krugeriotkruger7886 What do you mean "their powerlines". It's a state owned enterprise, which according to the commies in government means it belongs to the people who spend a quarter of their work day slaving away to pay taxes( oh and of course those that sit on their gat all day taking Sassa grants). Until Eskom is privatized that argument simply holds no water.
I was there when they had the big party when they announced they were gonna name the town after that old corrupt bat. It's actually an Afrikaner dorpie, and actually has little to do with her. I mean that abandoned graveyard has Afrikaner graves from the late 19th century, Boer and Brit soldiers are lying there. I also recall the water shedding they have every day from 18 to 6, as well as the fact that the Muncipality there basically does next to nothing and lawns are growing out of the potholes that have been there for years and years. Mercs and BMs park at that Muncipal building so clearly there is corruption.
Punitive load-shedding in the name of equality has been around since the start of load-shedding. Koeberg could be operating at full capacity yet the Western Cape has to experience load-shedding in solidarity with the other areas without power. Ditto for all the towns close to hydro-electric plants that in theory never need to experience load-shedding. An injury to one, is an injury to all since under communism we are all equal. It is wonderful how they manage to spread communism thickly on the South African sandwich yet the sheeple are too stupid to realise what they are tasting.
I absolutely agree. The term 'sheeple' is far too often mocked by socialists (communists in disguise) as being some hillbilly conservative term, but in truth, it's the biggest problem humanity sits with - citizens who have no desire to see or learn which issues are actively oppressing their prosperity, they throw their hands in the air and moan, but never want to change anything for the better if its too much of a hassle and disturbs their complacent comfort...
I think that's a slightly different argument though, because national power plants were built to power the entire grid - whereas new private interventions should rightly be allowed for exclusive use
Is this true though in a practical sense? I suspect not. Is the grid not run with all available capaciy of power stations? Power stations are not put on or off grid as needed, to support an ideology, as if to throw a switch. Rather, all power stations available, is kept running, but on the grid switching occurs, that allow shedding to different locations - keeping available supply & demand in balance. Or, am I completely off-in the dark?
@@yaacooh3073A substantial amount of power is lost when transmitting it over great distances. Thus a town next to a hydro-plant is subject to load-shedding (a loss of income to Eskom) while the power that town would have used is sent a thousand kilometres distant resulting in a transmission loss of anything from 20% to 30% or higher. This is an excellent example of how ideology is effectively sinking Eskom. The power grid is not a single bucket of water but many small containers being filled by a local power station where valves connecting the buckets can be regulated.
5:07 good points guys, I recently had someone tell me when we were discussing residents deciding to fix potholes because obviously their local municipality were too darn useless to do it, that it is "all great but did they get permission from gov to do it?"... I mean people still think one has to be nicey nicey and ask for permission to solve something yourself? That's the mindset I absolutely despise. I think you call it Authoritarian Syndrome or something, could be Ramaphoria too although that seems to be dying down at least 🤣
The problem for eskom is that when they load shed a town and that town generates electricity from another source on eskom lines you cant work on or steal the lines.
As far as I know Eskom and the electricity infrastructure were built with taxpayer money, who do these clowns think they are to treat people like that?
Cant understand. The elelctrical cables in my house I paid for. I paid for my own circuits in the db and utility board. In otherwards fuelstations start charging us for their fuelpumps when they run out of gas 😮😮
Just a point of reference/ ALL MAJOR TOWNS had their own Power Plants and distribution infrastructure before ESKOM was patched in. ESKOM used to service farms and peri urban areas before. Time to revert to what the system used to be.
Some people will spend money on generator fuel which is not fair to the people who want to spend their money on beer, Eskom exists for those who refuse to pay for their electricity.
Just like when we had a break from loadshedding over Christmas..then after that we went to stage 6 . Now we get stage 5 and threatening to go higher after a loadshedding break over the Easter weekend... So... Hang on... It was not de Ruiter who caused us to go to stage 6? He has gone now and Mr minister of electricity is slapping us with higher stages. Oh, now I see!! Hmm.
What 'amuses' me is that they can relieve us of loadshedding on 'important' days or when Julius throws his toys outa the cot and then it magically returns🙄🙄
I watch a South African streamer (he plays god of War) and he says that the company gives him a schedule on when they're going to cut the power off and turn it back on.
There is more behind this "load-shedding than meets the eye. Schedules are not adhered to. Cuts are deliberately becoming more random and unpredictable so you cannot prepare for it and the alternation between different stages every few hours is just to confuse you and is having no effect whatsoever on conserving power. Since Sikonathi Mantshantsha resigned from Eskom there are no reasons given for the power cuts. Bottom line is we are well and truly fucked.
The plan, as I understand the plot, is to motivate for private power installations which can opt to "sell" their "excess" power to the Municipality (the Grid). However, this power hive will be commandeered whenever their is an emergency. The Municipality will decide how much power the owner can utilise. Moreover, every "cell" in the hive will be monitored via the tie-in grid feedback meters. afaik.
Sounds very dystopian, so that must be the intention. I think they only want select people to own private power generating plants and are trying to destroy the competition before it is established.
Good morning. Here's a question. Oil, petrol and diesel gets shipped to Mozambique . Lands for R1.50 a lt. Gets transported to south Africa and we still pay R22.20 . How come. 😮
Frankfort you go guys screw Eskom. Maybe this is the future. Well-done to the people who thought this up. Well-done guys and not because they are Afrikaners but because they know the hardships company's are going thru 🎉
@@nielwilliams4687 no. For starters. You think it is better to make the boundaries tighter around you, by giving the rest of the country away. Absolutely illogical & madness. Oh boy. Yes, giving it away, because of problems. Defeatist attempt to stand.
The important electricity minister must resolve the issue and allow the private electricity, and tell the municipality to be quiet .Give the minister something to do
Eskom can't tell a metro who owns it's own distribution infrastructure what to do with it. COCT is already mitigating some levels of loadshedding using Steenbras. I suspect Frankforts infrastructure is Eskom built and maintained.
GHL is not going to even consider Eskom or the ANC and their drivel when making decisions regarding Cape Town's future energy supply. I am so glad we have a reg reg mayor.
Anyone else find it odd that we currently have lower number load shedding schedules during daylight hours as opposed to the night times. Surely consumption during the daylight is higher than at night. What has changed? This really is a circus.
They use pumpstorage schemes like Drakensberg to pump water from a low dam to a higher dam and when they need extra power they release the water from the high dam to power the generator essentially a big battery
The issue here is that many of these plants also feed back into the grid and Eskom is starting to bank on this extra capacity. This clearly highlights how deep the rot is in eskom. As you use Eskom cables to distribute the power in these big installations they will demand the extra capacity to cover their short fall.
If Eskom forces people that have their own Power to loadshed, the President & his Ministers should also be forced to do so. There shouldn't be any exceptions for these parasites.
You guys need to check the safety issues with using Eiskomm's grid. There are problems of power going to their grid from other sources. These problems are not insurmountable if you have competent and intelligent electrical engineers who are prepared to help. This is not the case in Frankfort - obviously! The alternative is to replace the municipal grid with their own and dump EISHKOMM COMPLEATLY. Very costly! Shortsighted of Eishkomm as with more municipality's on their own generated power the more power is available for industry who do pay their bills - might just improve their financial situation!
The only way we can fight back is by waking public up to the reality of what's happening. If the majority of people know they will stand up and police and army will go with the people and not the corrupt politicians. They spend all their resources on propaganda to keep people stupid. If that fails they done for.
@@corinnevanjaarsveldt6087 Problem! ICC is CORRUPT. Bought & paid for by NWO. Who's playbook is "squash the people" Hold them in slavery/subjugation. Simple as that. And 100% truth
If people can not associate as a nation to act, nothing. There is no legal action one individual can persue to make a lasting difference. The Constitution & time is against the individual.
THE SOLUTION The ANC doesn't fulfill its constitutional obligations. The ANC is far worse than just a "poor" government, it CHOOSES to break down and to destroy. That is why this action is warranted and needed. Most importantly the ANC incites hatred/violence against us when they say that we stole their land - I checked, we didn't. It is not reasonable to expect law abiding tax payers to continue with "the winner takes all principle" of a democracy to their own and the country's demise. Who says we HAVE to be part of this political dispensation? Nobody questions this. It is time to stop, think and QUESTION this. Nothing and nobody have the right to force us to be part of this self destructive political dispensation. Approach the courts - convince them that it would be in the best interest of the country as a whole if we control our own taxes (first goal). Justify our rejection of the current political dispensation (main goal). Alternatively we can just use the constitutional court as a platform where we inform the ANC and public of our decision to control our money and effectively start our own government. Give reasons and evidence for our decision. DIE OPLOSSING? Die enigste praktiese oplossing is om ons eie belasting (persoonlike, besigheids en brandstofheffings), munisipale fooie en betalings vir elektrisiteit self te beheer. (Our money under our control). Deur dit te doen kan ons die land feitlik oornag omdraai. Maar is dit haalbaar, hoe gaan ons dit reg kry? Ons het nie n keuse nie, ons moet dit doen. My voorstel is om die stelsel te verander deur n hofsaak in die konstitusionele hof. Dit is dalk net n beginpunt. Ons is GEREGTIG om die land om te draai. As dit is wat nodig is om die land om te draai (en dit is) dan moet die hof ons toelaat om ons belasting ens. te beheer. Dis tog ook vir die beswil v.d. land as n geheel. Hoekom nie? Die ANC het NIE DIE REG om ons te weerhou om die land om te draai nie. Dis die kruks van die beoogde saak in die konstitusionele hof. Indien die hof nie onomwonde in ons guns beslis nie wat heel moontlik is kan dit nog steeds susksesvol wees want dan het miljoene Blankes, Bruin en Indiers gehoor dat hulle GEREGTIG is om te doen wat die beste is vir hulle en SA as n geheel. Op die oomblik dink nie een van hulle so daaraan nie. Niks of niemand het die reg om ons te dwing om in n selfvernietigende politieke bedeling te bly nie ook nie die konstitusionele hof nie. So n hofsaak sal ook die besef tuisbring. Die ANC lieg as hulle sê ons het die grond gesteel - regsaksie teen die ANC As ons nie die grond gesteel het nie kan daar mos nie grondonteiening sonder vergoeding wees nie. Dis dan die rede waarom die ANC en EFF vra vir onteiening sonder vergoeding. Ons het grond by die Zoeloekoning gekoop. Daar was ander gevalle ook gewees, tewens Bennie van Zyl v.d. TLU se vir my dat daar 25 traktate was tussen die Voortrekkers en Swart stamme vir die koop van grond. Die Voortrekkers is bes moontlik die enigste groep mense in die geskiedenis wat nie grond met geweld af geneem het nie maar gekoop het! Die V.O.C. het ook maar hulle was nie n nasie nie. Die TLU het al in 2019 vir Ramaphosa gese dat hy en die ANC lieg as hulle sê ons het die grond gesteel. Die TLU het ook al R100 000 aan gebied vir enige iemand wat kan bewys dat ons die grond gesteel het maar niemand het nie. Ek het n ou onderhoud op UA-cam van John Vorster gesien (Firing line with William F. Buckley) net voor die '74 verkiesing waar hy sê dat die regering reeds in 1936 besluit het om 7.25 miljoen morge grond te koop en as ADDISIONELE grond te gee aan die tuislande. Tydens die onderhoud het hy gese dat daar reeds 7 miljoen morge gekoop was van Wit mense en dat dit al reeds aan die tuislande oorhandig was. As ons nie die grond gesteel het nie en ons betwis nie eens die ANC en EFF se leuen nie is ons sekerlik die grootste idiote in die geskiedenis! Kom ons vat die ANC hof toe. ANC waar is jou gedetaileerde lys van grond wat gesteel was? Ons kan grondonteiening sonder vergoeding nek om draai eens en vir altyd met so n hofsaak. Omdat ons nie vir die ANC en EFF se hulle lieg oor die grond nie dink almal al klaar dat ons die grond gesteel het. Deur ons stilswye kondoneer ons die leuenaars se leuen. Ons kan dit nie in hierdie geweldadige land bekostig nie. Hoeveel plaas aanvalle en haat is nie al deur hierdie leuen veroorsaak nie en hoeveel nog? Bennie van Zyl se vir my so n hofsaak sal omtrent R5m kos saam met litigasie want die ANC sal definitief apelleer. Die TLU het nie die fondse hiervoor nie. Om as n regering dit jou doelwit te maak om mense se grond by hulle te steel gebaseer op jou eie gefabriseerde leuen. Om mense se grond by hulle af te vat is gelykstaande aan n oorlogsverklaring. Die ANC breek die land ekonomies af as ook die samelewing, tewens die ANC hits rassehaat aan teen die Blankes as die sê ons het die grond gesteel. Hoe kan daar verwag word van ons om verder ons belasting te gee aan die ANC en belangriker om deur die ANC regeer te word? Wat sal n groep redelike persone doen onder hierdie omstandighede? Of eerder waarop is n minderheidsgroep in ons omstandighede GEREGTIG? Dit is eintlik die saak wat ek wil begin. Blankes sal baie meer as R5m gee vir hulle vryheid. Ek dink nie mense besef dit nie maar dit (die ANC se leuen oor die grond) kan DIE REDE wees wat n hof (insluitend die Wereldhof en VN) se uitspraak in ons guns swaai as ons besluit om ons self te distansieer van die huidige politieke bedeling. Bruin en Indier wil ook onder die ANC uit kom, ons staan nie alleen nie. Dis nie net n Swart en Wit kwessie nie. Dit gaan oor waardes, breek jy af of bou jy. Blankes bou, ons kan nie langer onder die afbrekende ANC regering aan gaan nie. Die ANC is DIE REDE vir die verval v.d. land. Daar is honderde indien nie duisende bewyse hiervoor wat in die konstitusionel hof voor gele kan word. Hoe kan ons hierdie saak verloor? Om Swartes titel regte te gee vir die grond waarop hulle bly in die ou tuislande sal die grootste welvaart skepping ooit in die land tot gevolg he. Hoe is dit moontlik dat die ANC en EFF nooit daaraan gedink het nie!? Die huidige stelsel waar grondeienaarskap onmoontlik is, is juis DIE REDE (histories en huidiglik) vir Swart armoede, Swart verstedeliking en plakkerskampe. Die ANC se hy is Swartes se "Liberator" maar hy lieg. Die ANC is Swartes se "Opressor".
Great show. Keep it up! I understands the lords of the flies in the ministerial complex are funded by the tax payer to have effectively no load shedding ??.? Some are more equal than others….
I think nk you are correct about CT but it might be treated slightly differently. Maybe CT owns its own wires rather than Eskom. But Eskom might still force them to load shed too and can do so because CT cannot generate enough power to be independent of Eskom.
Have look at Drakenstein. You pay +/-R2,40 pkwh on 60amps but the buy back form them is maybe +/-70c pkwh. Then on top of the levy they charhge for maintenace you get another levy for having solar. So can I get money back for not having power? Buy the way you paying the initial levy for the privaledge to have power😊. Just asking who is stealing from whoooo?
When will we get someone with a little IQ in government ? What is their agenda.Shall we go and look for Rupert and protest in front of his door. But like all the others who got government contracts they take the money and that is it. No service is delivered for the contract given. Nice job government it speaks of a very high intelligence.
One thing that bugs me,and maybe it was covered somewhere on other youtube videos.Why are they still selling these money wasting electric heaters in the shops??Sure i understand they are cheaper,but they use way too much electricity for the heat they are generating,and when you combine 100 or even millions using these appliances at peak time,then its no wonder we are at higher stages. Rather use gas heaters instead.Cause as long as they keep selling these electric heaters in the shops,then people are going to keep using them. Sure gas demand is going to go through the roof,but that will ease some demand from our so called energy provider.Maybe im wrong or missing something?
I am really positive, i am positive we are doomed 😭. But GOD BE WITH HIS PEOPLE😅. And i am proud to prophecies, BY FORCE, ANC AND NO UNGODLY PARTY WILL RULE, THEY WILL FALL.

Also... When the infrastructure lays dormant during loadshedding, that's when the infrastructure gets vandalised and cable gets stolen. If anything, they're doing Eskom a favour by reducing the chances of cable theft which becomes a direct cost to them, and to us, the taxpayers.
It's win/win. But this is no doubt political interference again because it shows up those monumental dooses in the ANC government because we have to do it for ourselves.
@@krugeriotkruger7886 you're not wrong there! Totally agree with you on that!
@@krugeriotkruger7886 What do you mean "their powerlines". It's a state owned enterprise, which according to the commies in government means it belongs to the people who spend a quarter of their work day slaving away to pay taxes( oh and of course those that sit on their gat all day taking Sassa grants). Until Eskom is privatized that argument simply holds no water.

Ah! Easy mistake to make.

I was there when they had the big party when they announced they were gonna name the town after that old corrupt bat. It's actually an Afrikaner dorpie, and actually has little to do with her. I mean that abandoned graveyard has Afrikaner graves from the late 19th century, Boer and Brit soldiers are lying there. I also recall the water shedding they have every day from 18 to 6, as well as the fact that the Muncipality there basically does next to nothing and lawns are growing out of the potholes that have been there for years and years. Mercs and BMs park at that Muncipal building so clearly there is corruption.

Yes. That's how it works. That's normal. You've got the tax payer in the bag. DA is A1 OK with that for ever!
We should all say get knotted and make our own way.
Take the ANC and ESKOM to court.
Only a DA voter will fall for that & think it has a chance. Perfect DA loser strategy. 😂
Punitive load-shedding in the name of equality has been around since the start of load-shedding. Koeberg could be operating at full capacity yet the Western Cape has to experience load-shedding in solidarity with the other areas without power. Ditto for all the towns close to hydro-electric plants that in theory never need to experience load-shedding. An injury to one, is an injury to all since under communism we are all equal.
It is wonderful how they manage to spread communism thickly on the South African sandwich yet the sheeple are too stupid to realise what they are tasting.
I absolutely agree. The term 'sheeple' is far too often mocked by socialists (communists in disguise) as being some hillbilly conservative term, but in truth, it's the biggest problem humanity sits with
- citizens who have no desire to see or learn which issues are actively oppressing their prosperity, they throw their hands in the air and moan, but never want to change anything for the better if its too much of a hassle and disturbs their complacent comfort...
I think that's a slightly different argument though, because national power plants were built to power the entire grid - whereas new private interventions should rightly be allowed for exclusive use
Is this true though in a practical sense? I suspect not. Is the grid not run with all available capaciy of power stations? Power stations are not put on or off grid as needed, to support an ideology, as if to throw a switch.
Rather, all power stations available, is kept running, but on the grid switching occurs, that allow shedding to different locations - keeping available supply & demand in balance.
Or, am I completely off-in the dark?
@@yaacooh3073A substantial amount of power is lost when transmitting it over great distances. Thus a town next to a hydro-plant is subject to load-shedding (a loss of income to Eskom) while the power that town would have used is sent a thousand kilometres distant resulting in a transmission loss of anything from 20% to 30% or higher. This is an excellent example of how ideology is effectively sinking Eskom.
The power grid is not a single bucket of water but many small containers being filled by a local power station where valves connecting the buckets can be regulated.
somewhat backward....as even Russia has dropped communism some time ago.
There is no such thing as 'free'. If you get something for free, someone else paid for it.
Why do we have a competition commission and a monopoly run by the same circus..
Rama spreads it on thick,unfortunately there is no slice underneath
Remind Eskom and the ANC that they messed up. Remind the electricity minister of this
Another DA supporter.
No ways. ANC And Eskom did mess up. We need a party better than the DA to fix the mess, maybe P.A.
So that means the MP’s and Cabinet Ministers should also loadshed
5:07 good points guys, I recently had someone tell me when we were discussing residents deciding to fix potholes because obviously their local municipality were too darn useless to do it, that it is "all great but did they get permission from gov to do it?"... I mean people still think one has to be nicey nicey and ask for permission to solve something yourself? That's the mindset I absolutely despise. I think you call it Authoritarian Syndrome or something, could be Ramaphoria too although that seems to be dying down at least 🤣
The problem for eskom is that when they load shed a town and that town generates electricity from another source on eskom lines you cant work on or steal the lines.
😅😅😅😅 yes. Tthe cable thieves are crying....
Eskom is ANC, ANC is Eskom.....that's why!
And the DA can do nothing about it. Don't forget.
As far as I know Eskom and the electricity infrastructure were built with taxpayer money, who do these clowns think they are to treat people like that?
Are you offended? They do not care. They are certainly not offended...
Cant understand. The elelctrical cables in my house I paid for. I paid for my own circuits in the db and utility board. In otherwards fuelstations start charging us for their fuelpumps when they run out of gas 😮😮
Just a point of reference/ ALL MAJOR TOWNS had their own Power Plants and distribution infrastructure before ESKOM was patched in. ESKOM used to service farms and peri urban areas before. Time to revert to what the system used to be.
Some people will spend money on generator fuel which is not fair to the people who want to spend their money on beer, Eskom exists for those who refuse to pay for their electricity.
Yep...freedom is the name of the game...
She should have rotted in jail.
Like Risiville Meyerton never get load shedding, because Eskom Officials stay there
Just like when we had a break from loadshedding over Christmas..then after that we went to stage 6 . Now we get stage 5 and threatening to go higher after a loadshedding break over the Easter weekend... So... Hang on... It was not de Ruiter who caused us to go to stage 6? He has gone now and Mr minister of electricity is slapping us with higher stages. Oh, now I see!! Hmm.
What 'amuses' me is that they can relieve us of loadshedding on 'important' days or when Julius throws his toys outa the cot and then it magically returns🙄🙄
@@margijohnson5728 It's during public holiday. Most factories close. Residential usage is far less than commercial use.
They must go hopping sideways.....
Do the ministers also suffer load shedding in solidarity with the rest of us?
Of course not
Great advice!! ❤️
I watch a South African streamer (he plays god of War) and he says that the company gives him a schedule on when they're going to cut the power off and turn it back on.
Nuts
There is more behind this "load-shedding than meets the eye. Schedules are not adhered to. Cuts are deliberately becoming more random and unpredictable so you cannot prepare for it and the alternation between different stages every few hours is just to confuse you and is having no effect whatsoever on conserving power. Since Sikonathi Mantshantsha resigned from Eskom there are no reasons given for the power cuts. Bottom line is we are well and truly fucked.
The plan, as I understand the plot, is to motivate for private power installations which can opt to "sell" their "excess" power to the Municipality (the Grid). However, this power hive will be commandeered whenever their is an emergency. The Municipality will decide how much power the owner can utilise. Moreover, every "cell" in the hive will be monitored via the tie-in grid feedback meters. afaik.
Sounds very dystopian, so that must be the intention. I think they only want select people to own private power generating plants and are trying to destroy the competition before it is established.
What a joke.
I installed an off-grid solution, despite all my friends warning me about penalties and fear mongering the crap out of me.. 😉

The important electricity minister must resolve the issue and allow the private electricity, and tell the municipality to be quiet .Give the minister something to do
What a bunch of ....... our government is really pathetic.
Government has been suing people who put up their own solar without permission, going as far as ordering its tare down.
But black townships are not load-shredded that is racism at best and the top dogs as well?
Eskom can't tell a metro who owns it's own distribution infrastructure what to do with it. COCT is already mitigating some levels of loadshedding using Steenbras. I suspect Frankforts infrastructure is Eskom built and maintained.
GHL is not going to even consider Eskom or the ANC and their drivel when making decisions regarding Cape Town's future energy supply. I am so glad we have a reg reg mayor.
The ANC never built Eskom. The ANC successfully broke Eskom. 😂
Anyone else find it odd that we currently have lower number load shedding schedules during daylight hours as opposed to the night times. Surely consumption during the daylight is higher than at night. What has changed? This really is a circus.
😅😂😂😂
They use pumpstorage schemes like Drakensberg to pump water from a low dam to a higher dam and when they need extra power they release the water from the high dam to power the generator essentially a big battery
What did the courts say?
The issue here is that many of these plants also feed back into the grid and Eskom is starting to bank on this extra capacity. This clearly highlights how deep the rot is in eskom. As you use Eskom cables to distribute the power in these big installations they will demand the extra capacity to cover their short fall.
Winnie was in Brandfort, not in Frankfort.
Eskom has become irrelevant.
Please can I have the same thing that Eskom is smoking😂.
If Eskom forces people that have their own Power to loadshed, the President & his Ministers should also be forced to do so. There shouldn't be any exceptions for these parasites.
Has anybody seen minister Electric's Energy Plan. He keeps talking about it. Is it published anywhere. Would love to see it.
Keep your eyes pinned to the TV. 😅
Eskom just doesn't make sense
erm.... obviously
loadshedding has NOTHING to do with eskom or government
look higher up
You guys need to check the safety issues with using Eiskomm's grid. There are problems of power going to their grid from other sources. These problems are not insurmountable if you have competent and intelligent electrical engineers who are prepared to help. This is not the case in Frankfort - obviously! The alternative is to replace the municipal grid with their own and dump EISHKOMM COMPLEATLY. Very costly! Shortsighted of Eishkomm as with more municipality's on their own generated power the more power is available for industry who do pay their bills - might just improve their financial situation!
Follow the money, find out which politicians have their fingers in the pie...it's obvious that theres people getting rich off our suffering
The problem is not Eskom. The problem is what we are allowing. Corrupt Eskom goes to corrupt courts and we abide
We should take this to the ICC. Against human rights.
We are being played. Communism
The only way we can fight back is by waking public up to the reality of what's happening. If the majority of people know they will stand up and police and army will go with the people and not the corrupt politicians. They spend all their resources on propaganda to keep people stupid. If that fails they done for.

THE SOLUTION
The ANC doesn't fulfill its constitutional obligations.
The ANC is far worse than just a "poor" government, it CHOOSES to break down and to destroy. That is why this action is warranted and needed.
Most importantly the ANC incites hatred/violence against us when they say that we stole their land - I checked, we didn't.
It is not reasonable to expect law abiding tax payers to continue with "the winner takes all principle" of a democracy to their own and the country's demise.
Who says we HAVE to be part of this political dispensation? Nobody questions this. It is time to stop, think and QUESTION this.
Nothing and nobody have the right to force us to be part of this self destructive political dispensation.
Approach the courts - convince them that it would be in the best interest of the country as a whole if we control our own taxes (first goal). Justify our rejection of the current political dispensation (main goal).
Alternatively we can just use the constitutional court as a platform where we inform the ANC and public of our decision to control our money and effectively start our own government. Give reasons and evidence for our decision.
DIE OPLOSSING?
Die enigste praktiese oplossing is om ons eie belasting (persoonlike, besigheids en brandstofheffings), munisipale fooie en betalings vir elektrisiteit self te beheer. (Our money under our control).
Deur dit te doen kan ons die land feitlik oornag omdraai.
Maar is dit haalbaar, hoe gaan ons dit reg kry?
Ons het nie n keuse nie, ons moet dit doen.
My voorstel is om die stelsel te verander deur n hofsaak in die konstitusionele hof. Dit is dalk net n beginpunt.
Ons is GEREGTIG om die land om te draai.
As dit is wat nodig is om die land om te draai (en dit is) dan moet die hof ons toelaat om ons belasting ens. te beheer. Dis tog ook vir die beswil v.d. land as n geheel. Hoekom nie?
Die ANC het NIE DIE REG om ons te weerhou om die land om te draai nie.
Dis die kruks van die beoogde saak in die konstitusionele hof.
Indien die hof nie onomwonde in ons guns beslis nie wat heel moontlik is kan dit nog steeds susksesvol wees want dan het miljoene Blankes, Bruin en Indiers gehoor dat hulle GEREGTIG is om te doen wat die beste is vir hulle en SA as n geheel. Op die oomblik dink nie een van hulle so daaraan nie.
Niks of niemand het die reg om ons te dwing om in n selfvernietigende politieke bedeling te bly nie ook nie die konstitusionele hof nie.
So n hofsaak sal ook die besef tuisbring.
Die ANC lieg as hulle sê ons het die grond gesteel - regsaksie teen die ANC
As ons nie die grond gesteel het nie kan daar mos nie grondonteiening sonder vergoeding wees nie.
Dis dan die rede waarom die ANC en EFF vra vir onteiening sonder vergoeding.
Ons het grond by die Zoeloekoning gekoop. Daar was ander gevalle ook gewees, tewens Bennie van Zyl v.d. TLU se vir my dat daar 25 traktate was tussen die Voortrekkers en Swart stamme vir die koop van grond.
Die Voortrekkers is bes moontlik die enigste groep mense in die geskiedenis wat nie grond met geweld af geneem het nie maar gekoop het! Die V.O.C. het ook maar hulle was nie n nasie nie.
Die TLU het al in 2019 vir Ramaphosa gese dat hy en die ANC lieg as hulle sê ons het die grond gesteel.
Die TLU het ook al R100 000 aan gebied vir enige iemand wat kan bewys dat ons die grond gesteel het maar niemand het nie.
Ek het n ou onderhoud op UA-cam van John Vorster gesien (Firing line with William F. Buckley) net voor die '74 verkiesing waar hy sê dat die regering reeds in 1936 besluit het om 7.25 miljoen morge grond te koop en as ADDISIONELE grond te gee aan die tuislande.
Tydens die onderhoud het hy gese dat daar reeds 7 miljoen morge gekoop was van Wit mense en dat dit al reeds aan die tuislande oorhandig was.
As ons nie die grond gesteel het nie en ons betwis nie eens die ANC en EFF se leuen nie is ons sekerlik die grootste idiote in die geskiedenis!
Kom ons vat die ANC hof toe.
ANC waar is jou gedetaileerde lys van grond wat gesteel was?
Ons kan grondonteiening sonder vergoeding nek om draai eens en vir altyd met so n hofsaak.
Omdat ons nie vir die ANC en EFF se hulle lieg oor die grond nie dink almal al klaar dat ons die grond gesteel het.
Deur ons stilswye kondoneer ons die leuenaars se leuen.
Ons kan dit nie in hierdie geweldadige land bekostig nie.
Hoeveel plaas aanvalle en haat is nie al deur hierdie leuen veroorsaak nie en hoeveel nog?
Bennie van Zyl se vir my so n hofsaak sal omtrent R5m kos saam met litigasie want die ANC sal definitief apelleer. Die TLU het nie die fondse hiervoor nie.
Om as n regering dit jou doelwit te maak om mense se grond by hulle te steel gebaseer op jou eie gefabriseerde leuen.
Om mense se grond by hulle af te vat is gelykstaande aan n oorlogsverklaring.
Die ANC breek die land ekonomies af as ook die samelewing, tewens die ANC hits rassehaat aan teen die Blankes as die sê ons het die grond gesteel.
Hoe kan daar verwag word van ons om verder ons belasting te gee aan die ANC en belangriker om deur die ANC regeer te word?
Wat sal n groep redelike persone doen onder hierdie omstandighede?
Of eerder waarop is n minderheidsgroep in ons omstandighede GEREGTIG?
Dit is eintlik die saak wat ek wil begin. Blankes sal baie meer as R5m gee vir hulle vryheid.
Ek dink nie mense besef dit nie maar dit (die ANC se leuen oor die grond) kan DIE REDE wees wat n hof (insluitend die Wereldhof en VN) se uitspraak in ons guns swaai as ons besluit om ons self te distansieer van die huidige politieke bedeling.
Bruin en Indier wil ook onder die ANC uit kom, ons staan nie alleen nie.
Dis nie net n Swart en Wit kwessie nie.
Dit gaan oor waardes, breek jy af of bou jy.
Blankes bou, ons kan nie langer onder die afbrekende ANC regering aan gaan nie.
Die ANC is DIE REDE vir die verval v.d. land.
Daar is honderde indien nie duisende bewyse hiervoor wat in die konstitusionel hof voor gele kan word.
Hoe kan ons hierdie saak verloor?
Om Swartes titel regte te gee vir die grond waarop hulle bly in die ou tuislande sal die grootste welvaart skepping ooit in die land tot gevolg he.
Hoe is dit moontlik dat die ANC en EFF nooit daaraan gedink het nie!?
Die huidige stelsel waar grondeienaarskap onmoontlik is, is juis DIE REDE (histories en huidiglik) vir Swart armoede, Swart verstedeliking en plakkerskampe.
Die ANC se hy is Swartes se "Liberator" maar hy lieg.
Die ANC is Swartes se "Opressor".
WOW! Way to make the economy grow 🤔
Great show. Keep it up! I understands the lords of the flies in the ministerial complex are funded by the tax payer to have effectively no load shedding ??.? Some are more equal than others….
Inferior complex. Thank you, Roman and Byron.
Doesn't make any sense, might aswelll tax us 4 breathing.
I think nk you are correct about CT but it might be treated slightly differently. Maybe CT owns its own wires rather than Eskom. But Eskom might still force them to load shed too and can do so because CT cannot generate enough power to be independent of Eskom.

Winnie was from Brandfort. Not Frankfort.
Have look at Drakenstein. You pay +/-R2,40 pkwh on 60amps but the buy back form them is maybe +/-70c pkwh. Then on top of the levy they charhge for maintenace you get another levy for having solar. So can I get money back for not having power? Buy the way you paying the initial levy for the privaledge to have power😊. Just asking who is stealing from whoooo?
Get OFF the grid, don't ask just do it.
When will we get someone with a little IQ in government ? What is their agenda.Shall we go and look for Rupert and protest in front of his door. But like all the others who got government contracts they take the money and that is it. No service is delivered for the contract given. Nice job government it speaks of a very high intelligence.

Eskom was never the problem, the anc was the problem since the beginning
One thing that bugs me,and maybe it was covered somewhere on other youtube videos.Why are they still selling these money wasting electric heaters in the shops??Sure i understand they are cheaper,but they use way too much electricity for the heat they are generating,and when you combine 100 or even millions using these appliances at peak time,then its no wonder we are at higher stages.
Rather use gas heaters instead.Cause as long as they keep selling these electric heaters in the shops,then people are going to keep using them.
Sure gas demand is going to go through the roof,but that will ease some demand from our so called energy provider.Maybe im wrong or missing something?
There's an Affing word which i Just Kunt figure out. viva anc.
