Here is an overview of 12 Things you were not told about Adolf Hitler and National-Socialist Germany.
[Eskom our corrupt, inefficient, black-run electricity supplier is going from bad to worse of late. The wastage and corruption is almost unbelievable. One expert estimated that R500 billion (about $39 billion) has been wasted/stolen from Eskom! Jan]
Load shedding ended at 20:00, Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe announced on Tuesday evening, two hours earlier than expected.
Phasiwe said this was due to unit 5 of Medupi power station being returned back to service.
“The power grid is expected to be constrained during [Wednesday] morning’s peak period unless several units return back to service overnight. Eskom will continue to monitor the power grid and provide regular updates through various media platforms,” he tweeted.
The power utility earlier announced that it would likely institute load shedding for five hours between 17:00 and 22:00.
This is the first time in a month that Eskom has resorted to planned rotational power outages in a bid to keep the grid stable.
The decision came in the wake of warnings by the power utility, both on Monday and earlier on Tuesday, that the power grid was severely constrained.
During load shedding Eskom informs municipalities how much power they have to cut. But this does not necessarily mean there will be load shedding in all municipalities.
The City of Cape Town said on Tuesday evening that it would not be instituting load shedding due to spare generation capacity.
Stage 1
Eskom deputy spokesperson Dikatso Mothae told Fin24 on Tuesday evening that the power utility was instituting stage 1 load shedding.
Stage 1 load shedding means that 1 000 MW of electricity needs to be shed in order to prevent the national grid from becoming severely damaged.
“We’ve been saying since [Monday] that ongoing industrial action has meant that some people have not been showing up for work and that there has been sabotage in our facilities which has been creating vulnerability in the system.”
‘Use electricity sparingly’
In a statement on Tuesday evening, Eskom appealed to South Africans to use electricity sparingly, and switch off geysers during peak periods between 05:00 and 10:00, and again between 17:00 to 22:00.
The power utility said customers should consult load shedding schedules and “plan on the assumption that load shedding will take place,” and indication that Tuesday evening’s power outages may not be isolated events.

Video: SAs Whites Worst Enemies: Jews & President Ramaphosa Did a Black man convert to Ju
About ten or so years ago, my best Jewish friend one day told me that a very important black man has converted to Judaism but he refused to tell me the black mans name. This topic came up more than once, and he repeated this. Each time I asked him for the black mans name but he refused to give it to me. In this video, we look very closely at the extremely, uncomfortably close relationship between the President of South Africa and the Chief Rabbi of South Africa, the top Jew, in charge of the Jews.
