Will you save power, South Africa?

Koeberg Power station in Cape Town is running on half power, placing the South African grid that supplies us with power under severe pressure.

Eskom carried out a "controlled shutdown" of Unit 2 at the Koeberg nuclear power station on Monday night because of a technical fault in the electricity generating side.

Unplanned maintenance work had to start on Monday night.

Eskom says:

"We ask to all South Africans to conserve electricity during this period. A concerted effort to decrease consumption will reduce the risk of load-shedding (blackouts)."

Get an inverter.I am running a network of 2 computers, my DSTV, television,my ASDL modem, my radio,scanner/copier/fax, a fan and a lamp. The inverter is a quick to install, QUIET system that works off any 12 V battery.

You can install it in your vehicle or attach it to a battery with a charger.
We need power to run a business or to survive in the modern world we live in.

Get an inverter, if you cant use a generator

Hi there

We had the inverter installed in the Izuzu, attach is a picture..
Cost, excluding installation was R 3000.00 and I am so happy I went for it..

We tested it, running 2 pc's a network modem, dstv, television, fan,lamp and radio, as well as a scanner/fax, modem all at the same time. In a 4 hour power failure, I could continue working, just starting the Izuzu every 30 minutes, letting it run for 3 minutes , to ensure that the battery did not drain.

Powers 220-240v AC mains equipment directly from a 12v source. Connect directly to a 12v battery to convert the voltage to mains AC power.

All 12v inverters include the following key safety features: two-way fuse protection, low battery shutdown protection, low battery voltage alarm, over voltage protection, overload protection and temperature protection.


The 12v 1000w Inverter with twin socket and LED is suitable for equipment rated up to 1000w e.g. microwaves, large power tools, halogen lighting and multiple applications. Remote control socket for the connection of a remote control switch

Lets stand together for POWER

I watched Carte Blanche last night with disbelief. It is bad enough when you are a victim of load shedding in Gauteng, having to hear that you must buy a generator, gas stoves and live with controlled power outages because Eskom does not have enough *power* to five the country.

The ridiculous statements that APARTHEID is to blame for it.. dear Heavens the very people who warned them in a white paper that the country will run out of power was totally ignored even while the pre 1994 preparation Held good until 2007.

Eskom management was paid bonusses of R58 million Rand!!! This whilst our Gold and platinum mines had to close on friday and over 400 000 people are now without work.. BLACK people being done in by their own kind !

Eskom has no problem to lie on national media. The CEO of Eskom said that because of load shedding, they would stop giving power to the neighbouring countries.. yet phone calls to Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe confirmed that they getting their almost normal quotas on a daily basis.

Eskom CEo also refused to talk to Carte Blanche. Why push the head of Corporate services,( who happens to be a white male on tv, when you Mr black CEO are the one who kills your own kind and others with unplanned , pathetic management.

Are you going to feed the 400 000 black miners and their families?

We are told on national media that load shedding are extra bad because the coal is wet. Someone else makes a comment that wet coal works better ! We are shown pictures with hardly any coal near power stations. Eskom refuses to give out figures.. saying that for *security* reasons they can not tell us how much coal is available. They pay poor truckers a lousy FOURTY CENTS per ton to transport coal. No one in their right mind can make a living on that.

I foresee crime rising because hungry people steal. I see the country being raped in more than one way. Africa had one light at the bottom end.. beautiful South Africa. We are now also slowly fading into the dark of bad management. Dark Africa, forgotten by the world, forgotten by their own.

Let us stand together. It might take a while but united we can create a new South Africa, learning from our mistakes

Do not let your business/home suffer from load shedding

Eskom is in trouble. South Africa is in trouble. Your business is in trouble and you suffer inconvenience at home with load shedding . Eish!
Consider this:

I am running a network of 2 computers, my DSTV, television,my ASDL modem, my radio,scanner/copier/fax, a fan and a lamp. The inverter is a quick to install, QUIET system that works off any battery. You do not have to IDLE your vehicle ALL the time! On Thursday I had 4 hours of load shedding and I started the Izuzu every 40 minutes, let it run for 3 minutes a time only and could continue to work!
