Waking up early on Sunday morning isn't lekker - I find the pain isn't so bad if the reason for waking up early is to go and hit a few white balls around a golf course (although Mark Twain would argue that it's a way ruining a good walk). In my 4-ball was somebody who knows a thing or two about Koeberg Nuclear Power Station and the finer points of electricity supply. Apparently Koeberg tripped when Kendal power station up north had a problem causing a drop in its power supply. I don't really understand why they cant set Koeberg up so that it continues to run when there are disruptions in the overland supply of electricity. Any electrical engineers out there that can help explain why this isn't possible?
I also didn't realise that the overland lines don't have the capacity to supply Cape Town. Open suggestion to Eskom - perhaps this is something you could work on, to increase the capacity of those lines?
