So remember, use water sparingly because their will be an electricity shortage?  How do you bring those two together?

Looks like there will be a lot of braai fires on the 25th in our town!!!!  Mike, did you organize it on purpose?  I suggest all Oranjemunders make sure with the authorities if this is true  -  I think this might be a hoax from Mike - just so he's allowed to light the fire!!!!

It sounds as if OTMCo are already using water sparingly according to the lack of watering gardens and grassy areas etc......

Bertus ou b(r)oer; hiesie windpompe virrie waterrie. Ons pomp nog met elektrisitet... you know, the municipal way.

No hoax... It is for real, just the reasoning behind the postponement from the 18th to the 25th boggles my electrical mind.
