Promoted | iKhokhaSA has a solution as load shedding plunges businesses into darkness
A recent study noted that 64% of businesses in townships cease to operate in load shedding. During these outages, customer satisfaction is affected, footfall decreases and supply chains become disrupted, leading to further financial setbacks.
And with expensive backup power supplies out of reach, daily losses and looming closures is the stark reality for these businesses. At the end of 2022, load shedding had cost R1.2-trillion . In 2023, our economic growth will slow to 0.3% as South Africa slumps further behind continental powerhouses like Kenya and Nigeria .Recognising the struggles faced by small businesses and the effects of load shedding on the economy, the iKhokha team has worked hard to build a solution to combat the daily challenges faced by South African business owners.
“Our economy relies on the success of small businesses, and at iKhokha we understand better than most the very real challenges they face. We are dedicated to creating solutions that help small businesses thrive, even in the face of adversity,” he says.
