This week, in an unprecedented move, Eskom implemented stage six load shedding but this was then revised to stage four.While President Cyril Ramaphosa cut his official visit to Egypt short to attend to the country’s electricity crisis, it was not yet clear when Eskom’s deepening financial problems would end.
Rechargeable lights, power banks, solar panels, gas stoves, generators, and power invertors were flying off the shelves as South Africans stocked up and prepared for more rolling blackouts. “It did catch us by surprise and a lot of these products are not made locally; they are fully imported. We got a hold of our vendors and managed to get stock relatively quickly and delivered it to our stores last night,” Koff said.
Grandmother Mildred Ewang stays in Kelvin and said although she was used to getting around without power from her childhood days, her grandchildren were struggling to make peace with this.
