[This is an example of the type of official communication we in SA get with there’s a power outage when something breaks. This is not a rolling blackout (aka load shedding). This is an actual BREAKAGE. In here you can see lots of areas, including where I live, which has been out all day. Now they claim they’ve restored a lot of the power but in reality the entire suburb is off. They say that the trigger was that power “tripped” in one area. Well, that sounds like a load of total nonsense because if power TRIPPED then you just switch it back on. It seems something BLEW somewhere and it knocked out power in many areas and it’s been like this all day. Who knows when electricity will return. I run off my own power. Jan]
