Variable power

Update: I got home from broadcasting last night, having taken a nasty fall in the pitch blackness of the shopping centre from where I broadcast in Midrand. Some bright security guard had decided to shut down every light in the centre, rendering it as dark as a cave.

After my wife had cleaned my injuries, at 11.30, Eskom's power went off fully here. At 1.30, they came out, thanks to Karen, and restored power.

Linbro is not for those of faint heart.

We are having shocking power (or not shocking power) at 68 Clulee. The voltage is so low we can't microwave food, PCs switch themselves off and more.

Would love to hear from anyone else experiencing the same problem. We have shut down all essential appliances, but we are down to next to no Eskom power.
