Stage 3 till 4pm; Stage 6 from 8pm; Stage 4 tomorrow at 2am… for most of us, trying to hold tabs on the latest – and constantly shifting – loadshedding schedule seems like a job best suited to Napoleon waging war, or by making a Wish upon a star. But, what’s not complicated is deciding how to support the kids – and yourselves – entertained during those endless two-hour blackout blocks. Ster-Kinekor has the retort – and the power!
Back-up generators and UPS (uninterrupted power supply) units maintain been installed in almost 75% of the leading cinema chain’s complexes across the country, giving audiences an uninterrupted movie experience from the opening frame to the pause credits.

“With 32 of our 43 cinema complexes now fitted with generators, we ensure that the present goes on, even when the lights depart off! The movie will maintain playing on the gigantic screen, and it’s the perfect reply to loadshedding. With a feast of blockbuster titles releasing on our screens over the next few weeks, as we gear up for the much-anticipated festive season, there is something for everyone to appreciate,” says Lynne Wylie, chief marketing officer of Ster-Kinekor.
“And, of course, with our IMAX cinemas, you acquire the opportunity to watch some of the biggest titles on the biggest screens in the country.”

A good rule of thumb is as follows: If the numbers come from somebody wearing a tie (Wall Street economist or analyst, industry Public Relations department, captive think tank academic and so on), you ought to be very skeptical. By design messages from these people are intended to move markets, move merchandise and/or move public policy and are not a comment on the state of the physical universe. – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Political monopoly and economic monopoly are two sides of the same coin, two heads of the same monster. Despite all the claims to the contrary, the essential ideology of Neo-Conservatism is to preserve the status quo, with all of its injustices. Its Public Relations experts call for \”freedom and democracy\” without a framework of higher values. They fail to comprehend the need for a paradigm of justice and therefore are blind to what concerns most of the people in the world. This failure is the taproot of terrorism. – Robert Dickson Crane
