Joburg residents frustrated by load shedding via SABCNewsOnline
Eskom says it will continue to cut power this week as it struggles with capacity shortages.“Load shedding is really affecting us because we really do not have time to study because the lights are off. We were supposed to have a test, but luckily it was postponed,” says one of the residents.“I’m affected because I have to iron my uniform while preparing for work. So, I had to do it in the morning, which is time-consuming with one of those tasks.
Meanwhile, measures are in place at the Pelonomi Hospital in Bloemfontein to avoid power interruptions due to load shedding.The hospital’s Head of Administration, Mpotsang Nzume, says they have acquired seven new generators to deal with any load shedding that may be implemented at critical times.“All seven generators are still new. They are about 12 months now. Of the seven, we’ve got four that have a capacity of 450 kilowatts and we’ve got three that have got the capacity of 350 kilowatts.
