This follows the recent escalation of Eskom’s energy capacity woes to the point where the utility was forced to implement Stage 4 load shedding.CEO of the Tourism Business Council of South Africa Tshifhiwa Tshivhengwa told Fin24 that while some companies run large systems with provisions to complete their functions regardless of grid pressure, smaller businesses like B&Bs will be impacted more by an unexpected round of load shedding."It’s costly to our members.
