What do you think about…
The Rep intern Chuma Joni took to the streets of Komani and asked residents how the current load-shedding was affecting them and how they were dealing with the crisis.
Sibongile Neli from Emadakeni
Load-shedding is affecting me a lot. As a result I cannot get my work done as planned because the electricity just goes off without me knowing. I used to know the times when it was going to go off, but now I do not know. The schedule changes.
Mbulelo Mnyaka from Zola
It is affecting me a lot. As a result my TV is not working because of this load-shedding and now I have to buy a new one.
It gives a lot of problems and it makes us look bad at work as if we do not get our work done on time due to the outages.
Vicky Mostert from Top Town
Load-shedding has been affecting me negatively or, should I say, us all.
Work is not done at a certain time because of the power outages.
Computers are often down. It is not very convenient and it is a problem.
Odwa Nxano from Zola
I do not finish on time at work and this makes me look like someone who does not have time management skills.
It is affecting our business as well because we do not have money to buy a generator like other companies do.
ZENANDE MANUNGA Zenande Manunga from Komani
I now have to make sure that I wake up early in the morning and boil hot water because if I do not get up early I will have to take a bath in cold water.
This load-shedding is really affecting us as community members.
