South Africa is in electricity overdraft

Interesting statement about this weekend’s rolling blackouts:

Eskom has also taken a decision to load shed over the weekend in order to build up reserves for the week ahead.

That sounds a lot like:

Eskom is all out of power, we’re going to cut your power so we can charge up the batteries a little to get us through next week …

Of course, if you are inclined to be optimistic, this weekend is going to be all about quality family time, board games and picnics outdoors (if you aren’t rained out, in which case more board games and reading books).
