Load Shedding - in the New South Africa.  

With the re-opening of schools and industry in the New Year, frequent outages would be expected. Eskom and municipalities have given us warnings to ‘brace up’ for electricity cuts.

However, finding sufficient ways to resolve and overcome the problem needs to be explored and extensively discussed. The public may not fully understand the workings of the system but information from the providers of electricity might ease the very uncomfortable situation that exists.  

It is intriguing to note that ‘load shedding’ and outages were not common in the past. 

The respective departments must be sympathetic that people pay for services and if they default they bear the consequences.
