Missing Mogale schedule

[GiaCroock]

Hi there, thanks for the great work you guys are doing!

There is no information on any of the schedules for areas located under the Mogale City Municipality. For example: Mindalore as shown in the screenshot taken from EskomSePush.

Hi there!

Thanks for opening the issue! I really appreciate it. I can't find a PDF that describes the Mogale city loadshedding schedule, and I can't do much without an official source. Do you have a link to an official website that describes the loadshedding schedule?

[GiaCroock]

Unfortunately, I don't. I have been looking for a pdf as well. I am going to try call the municipality tomorrow and will post if I get it. :)

If you could that would be great! EskomSePush doesn't make their schedules easily available to the public so we can't use theirs, and I would like to get an original source of information anyway (so that if it gets updated, I'll know about it).

If you could call them that would be great! It doesn't take too long to add the schedules, so just getting the data is often the tricky bit.

I called the Mogale municipality electrical department and they told me they do not have a schedule available and that I can find a schedule by using Eskom’s website. I am a little suspicious as I downloaded the loadshedding schedule excel sheet from Eskom direct and searched for Mogale however I cannot find "Mindalore" on the sheet. Furthermore, EskomSePush do not have Mindalore recorded under Eskom direct either.

Hmm. Unfortunately that's not entirely unheard of, it's pretty common for municipalities to not know entirely what's going on with regards to loadshedding.

I did some more digging around, and found this news webpage: https://krugersdorpnews.co.za/248453/mogale-releases-load-shedding-schedule-2/

which lead me to this mogalecity website: https://www.mogalecity.gov.za/2019/04/23/load-shedding-schedule-2/

Which has a dead link to a PDF 🤕: https://www.mogalecity.gov.za/images/pdfs/2019/Mogale_City_Load_Shedding_Schedule.pdf

If I do a search for "load shedding" on the Mogale website, I get a bunch of results, but none of them have links that still exist: https://www.mogalecity.gov.za/page/3/?s=Load+shedding. They're all dead or say "FIle not found"

I'm afraid I can't do a whole lot until I've got a schedule ☹️

I don't know if this is still an issue, but I linked 'Mogale' today for Noordheuwel under block 16 - https://github.com/beyarkay/eskom-calendar/releases/download/latest/gauteng-ekurhuleni-block-16.ics Maybe it helps

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is of any help but I manually created a csv sheet using the data off https://www.ourpower.co.za/areas/mogale-city for block 16. It seems that there is only a separate schedule for block16 and the rest of the blocks follow the Eskom schedules. mogale-16.csv
