Poor planning on maintenance is the cause of load shedding.

As a long-time user of electricity I find and this is my personal opinion. That eskom and city power or in my mind like headless chickens. They are fast running out of excuses on how to bull **** the public. The breakdown/s at their power plants is of their own doing. What they suffer from in as far as maintenance goes is a delayed reaction to planned maintenance.. They only wake up when it is too late. And the proof in the pudding of what I'm saying is the load-shedding we are currently having to endure as a result of eskom's gross negligence and incompetence.
