It is not normal for families to light their homes with an assortment of power banks, inverters, and torches. It is not normal for people to have to check a cellphone app every hour to see when, or whether, they will have power that day.

Jordaan, speaking at the latest PSG Think Big Series webinar, said that South Africans have alternatives for the frustrating load shedding, expensive mobile data, and high bank charges.

SA needs the energy rescue plan to work for the sake of all our livelihoods. But the risks that it will fall down on implementation are large. Of these, ANC politics and its consort - weak government institutions – are the biggest.
How many years has Eskom been saying they are busy fixing what is broken? How many years later has nothing actually been fixed. Get a grip, between Eskom and the anc they have successfully ruined a once prosperous Nation.
When are people going to direct their rage at ANC voters who are literally holding this Country hostage.
Why always breakdowns? BEE playing a big role with these breakdowns
The ANC is not serious about us the poorest of the poor , they are worse than the apartheid regime, how can our own black people treat us like scavengers in our own country, this is really sickening= the ANC has failed in all spheres of government

Eskom raised incompetence level to 6 again. Utterly pathetic management and service. And then they want to tax people that is seeking alternative solutions (solar) when government should rather be subsidizing it to encourage solving the energy crisis.
