STAGE 6: LOAD SHEDDING
If you weren't in the know and came home to the stench of food going as your fridge suffered a bad break with the current to the power grid, well "Darkness" our old friend, aka is back but under a new name: STAGE 6.
It came as surprise to many as the embattled power supplier announced that a new stage will be coming over [yep, unannounced] as of 6 pm today on their social page.
We regret and sincerely apologise that stage 4 loadshedding will move to Stage 6 loadshedding as from 18:00 today, as a result of a shortage of capacity. This follows a technical problem at Medupi Power Station impacting additional generation supply. https://t.co/Nxo0ltbuee pic.twitter.com/YXdfI0PzrM

As much as we've been struggling to understand the meaning of STAGE 6, Carl and Zoe found some "hidden" load shedding stages.
Ever heard of Stage 101?
