With the country’s on-going rolling blackouts continuing to cause havoc in people’s lives and affecting different industries, the Mocumi family at Tlakgameng village, near Vryburg in the North West, says they lost everythingTheir house was razed by fire, which they allege, was sparked by rolling blackouts. The family is now staying in a backroom, uncertain, whether or not Eskom will compensate them for their loss.
Meshack Mocumi, the home owner says, “It was load shedding when my house burnt. It was on the 15th of July. The load shedding started at 8. We switched everything off. We have power lights. We unplugged everything and went to sleep. Just around past ten when the electricity came back, we heard people breaking into the house. That is when my house was burning, and those people were helping us. Just when i swiftly left my bedroom, I saw fire. It was the electricity box burning.
“We are concerned about this load-shedding. It’s affecting us because we’ll end up homeless,” said one resident.
