Amongst the eight student protesters arrested one had a rather high profile father, none other than Eskom’s Brian Molefe.

The Gupta’s will forever have their already sticky fingers in every pie of South Africa’s economy – and will do anything to keep it that way.
A week of electricity deserves nothing more than a national headline as Eskom attempts to encourage positivity with its epically failed brand.
The idea of sitting around a campfire is a winner, sure, but sometimes you want luxuries like light that won’t scold your face and a fully charged cellphone. You can have both pretty easily.
Let’s all give Eskom the collective middle finger. There, wasn’t that rather soothing? Now let’s stop being at their mercy and take matters into our own hands with this beaut.
We know that Eskom are pretty much the laughing stock of the country but it looks they have competition when it comes to their ineptitude. It could be worse.
I have no doubt you have heard this story trotted out before in the past few months, but this time it might actually have some teeth. Are we on the brink of disaster?
The gangs of Cape Town are apparently rather enjoying the Eskom outages as no one can see them coming. So what is The City doing about it?
So what does a birds-eye view of Eskom in action over the city of Cape Town look like then? Here’s your answer.
I was load shedded so many times last week that I have finally put away my electric kettle and now I only use my Le Creuset one on the stove. Sigh.
No one enjoys being plunged into darkness when someone decides to turn off our lights for us. Here’s the only survival kit you will ever need.
Eskom are set to dig deep in an internal investigation into problems at the company. Four board members have been sent to the naughty corner, including CEO Tshediso Matona.
Those guys over at Eskom are such jokers. As if we’re not having to deal enough with greater Cape Town burning down, we now have to actually do it in the dark.
Here’s a lighthearted article about Eskom and what the world thinks of our little energy crisis.
It looks like the bad guys are making use of load shedding timetables to target homes who don’t bother to set their alarms, or who might not have a backup battery for the alarm.
Load shedding is killing people now. Controversy over Mockingbird sequel. Zuckerberg gives $75 million. HSBC’s great tax dodge. Australia shark attacks out of control. Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend under investigation. Joan Rivers won a Grammy.

Eskom has some important info for all us power users about the upcoming load shedding schedule. We have the lowdown here.
Are you afraid of the dark? Sorry for you. Eskom says the darkness will carry on for a good few years. You can either invest in a candle factory or go Off The Grid.
At least you don’t have to deal with Eskom’s inadequacies whilst flying mile-high, right? Well what if you can’t get off the ground in the first place…
You WON’T believe this…this is the cold hard truth exposing Eskom. The lies and the half-truths! You deserve to know!
Whoop whoop it is almost holiday time for errrrbody! Luckily, the guys over at Eskom who are supposed to be building us a new plant have already been on holiday for four days.
If you were worried about not being able to have dinner at your favourite restaurant because of the power cuts, then you need to start worrying about more pressing issues.
Eskom is nailing NOTHING right now. OK, wait, they are totally nailing being incompetent and useless. As is CityPowerJHB. They are doing a stellar job.
Eskom ran out of cash for diesel! Blackstar goes after Times Media. Apple exec goes to prison. Oscar could get bail. Joaquin engaged to yoga teacher. Facebook breakthrough.
I feel like this electricity problem is really bringing our country together: EVERYONE can talk about it, whether rich, poor, purple, green, jobless or MD. It’s great.
Finally, an easy way to organise your day around Eskom’s magnificent load shedding. Now you can still have the girls over for tea and actually have boiling water. #FunTimes
Sometimes the voice of millions doesn’t get heard, until echoed by the right individual. In this case it is Johann Rupert, one of SA’s most celebrated business leaders.
Time to schedule your life down to the tee, as one of the sources we take for granted in our daily lives gets sporadically taken away from us.
