I think the general rule of thumb I've heard is that Eskom employs about twice as many people as the early 90s, but doesn't make any more power at all?
I do think loadshedding will still take years to solve. I think there is also concern about how bad loadshedding needs to get before the grid cannot cope and we get total blackout... And then how long it takes to get the grid back up and running again...
This happened tonight as each time the switch on is a lottery and the number of areas who are not immediately back up and running is quite alarming. We are just on 5 hours and hope we have power back by morning.
