LOADSHEDING IS BACK!!!
The Koeberg Nuclear Power Station is offline after Unit 2 tripped. According to Eskom the unit was safely shut down after the unplanned, non-technical trip. The power utility says it has since established that it's safe to initiate the start-up process for this unit. It's expected to reconnect to the national grid within 48 hours. The incident comes as work is underway on Unit 1, which is offline. Eskom says while the trip did not necessitate the implementation of loadshedding the overall generation capacity remains constrained.

On 7 September 2020, children were playing on the streets of Grassy Park, where young Nahemia Classen was playing just meters from his front door on Parkers Walk.

As gunshots rang out in the streets, little Nahemia was struck by a bullet and rushed to hospital. Sadly, he was pronounced dead on arrival and this left the community reeling in the shock.

The killer was identified and arrested a short while later. Christopher Kemp, a member of the Mongrels gang, had allegedly been shot days before by members of the Six Bob gang. He returned to wreak his revenge and fired a series of rounds at a group of the opposing gang members, missing his target and hitting innocent Nahemia, who was playing outside.

Gang member Christopher Kemp took the stand in his own defence, determined he could outwit the legal system. He “couldn’t have shot Nahemia, he plead, as he had “loaded his firearm with hollow-tip bullets, and they would have killed instantly, where as Nahemia only died sometime later.”

Judge Leese warned the accused “not to listen to legal experts inside prison,” as it was his own freedom that was on the line.

With a case that has run several years, Kemp was not released on bail and was remanded into custody until the case was concluded. With him being found guilty on all accounts, the matter was concluded on 18th of February in Wynberg Court, where he was to be sentenced. With a packed court room, his state attorney appealed desperately to the Judge in trying to get a lean sentence. The legal defence suggested to the judge that “residents living in gang areas are well aware of the dangers associated and they make a choice to remain in these areas.”

Acting Judge Amanda Leeve severely reprimanded the attorney and criticised the statement in her handing down of the sentence, sentencing Christopher Kemp to life in prison for the murder, as well as 28 years for the other charges.

In her closing remarks, Judge Leeve delivered her sentence and told Kemp that the courts h

Loadshedding has been downgraded from Stage 6 to Stage 4. Eskom says this is due to the successful recovery of eight of the ten generation units that tripped over the weekend. In addition, emergency reserves are also replenishing well. According to the power utility it has identified the root causes of the multiple unit trips. It says they were unconnected and purely technical in nature, related to electrical and control system issues in the auxiliary parts of the power stations, Majuba, Camden and Medupi. Eskom is expected to provide an update on the power system on Monday afternoon.
