    Eskom is having problems, we need more power that they can provide, so everytime there is just a bit too much pull somewhere the power goes out.

    I don't want to see what happens mid winter when everyone start putting on there heaters.

    Not too be mean but Eskom should have build another power stasiun years ago!

    Eskom failed to build the necessary power plants years ago. Now the current plants are overworked, leading to powercuts.

    Which areas? Ha, it's not unsual that that happens! Hehe, it happened in Australia too, must be some kind of a connection!

    A good question but unfortunately no one can give you a correct answer, other than that we will refer you Eskom and your local municipality!
