Hi everyone, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to all the individuals and organizations who have generously contributed to the fund raising efforts for SAPS (South African Police Service). Firstly, we embarked on a fund raising campaign for an Inverter and battery project, which was later taken care of by the Government (National Public Works). They informed us that they had allocated funds to address electricity issues in Police Stations, Schools, and Hospitals. Therefore, we shifted our focus to another pressing matter. We then turned our…
Haai almal, Ek wil ‘n oomblik neem om my opregte dank uit te spreek teenoor al die individue en organisasies wat mildelik bygedra het tot die fondsinsamelingspogings vir SAPD (Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens). Eerstens het ons ‘n fondsinsamelingsveldtog aangepak vir ‘n Omskakelaar- en batteryprojek, wat later deur die Regering (Nasionale Openbare Werke) behartig is. Hulle het ons meegedeel dat hulle fondse bewillig het om elektrisiteitskwessies in polisiestasies, skole en hospitale aan te spreek. Daarom het ons ons fokus verskuif na ‘n ander dringende saak. Ons het toe ons aandag gevestig op die sekuriteitskwessie…
Vir enige navrae: Jan Erasmus ESKOM BEURTKRAG SITUASIE: 30 MEI 2023 Bergrivier Munisipaliteit se elektriese netwerke is tans onder geweldige druk wanneer toevoer na die dorpe aangeskakel word na Eskom beurtkrag.

Sodra toevoer herstel word, skakel al die elektriese toestelle gelyk aan wat veroorsaak dat die aanvraag vir elektrisiteit die beskikbare netwerk kapasiteit oorskry. In sommige gevalle is die aanvraag dan dubbel die beskikbare kapasiteit. Velddrif…
