LOAD-SHEDDING PROBLEMS

The present load-shedding stage four makes the task of preparing meals impossible. Either the lunch has to be eaten by 10am or after 2.30pm. Even bought meals cannot be warmed. Then the next bright time on the same day is 6pm to 10.30pm.

We are over 80. Is there some magic and safe way to warm food? Some areas have not had these problems. Help! JOAN

Why are Malabar residents subjected to so many hours of load-shedding a day (13 hours) while other parts of the country have only two hours or four hours a day? It’s ridiculous! FS

Normally when you read any comment about PE traffic it’s negative. Well I don’t travel much anymore, being retired and all, but I want to give a huge cheer of approval to the patient, friendly and courteous manner we invariably show to each other at the many, many uncontrolled intersections during load-shedding. You guys are generally outstanding!

So let the so-called “traffic officers” sit on their backsides and play cards or plan their next strike for more money for doing nothing, we don’t need you. We manage just fine thank you. EMMO
