🔒 This week the Small Business Institute urged the government to hasten its efforts to resolve Eskom’s electricity supply issues, “which are having a crippling effect on the small business segment” .

Hot mess: Veronica Shezi, owner of Vero’s Cakes, says a generator that can power all her ovens at once costs R280 000.

It is Tuesday morning and there are no customers in Vero’s Cakes, but the small bakery in Randburg is buzzing with activity as workers fill the storefront with bags of scones whose fresh-from-the-oven scent spills out into the Randhof Centre. “You should have seen last week I was sending messages: ‘Sorry we cannot bake because our lights are down’ and people were saying, ‘Please use a generator’, but if only they knew how much it costs,” says bakery owner Veronica Shezi.

She describes how the recent rotational power cuts, which lasted over a week, have affected her eight-year-old business, which employs 30 people. Shezi operates on an order-only basis, which explains the lack of foot traffic in the store.Embargo - Default message
