Following the Saturday 25 February 02:00 to 04:00 load shedding block in Tafelsig, disaster struck Frederick and Vivienne Majiet who was asleep when a power surge caused the plug point in another room to blow."We were asleep, we didn't even know the house is on fire. My daughter came to tell us the rooms are on fire," says Vivienne.
With burglar bars blocking their escape, it was God's hand that helped them, they say, able to escape before succumbing to the flames themselves.Neighbour's rushed to their aid, helping to extinguish the blaze. "The City advises residents to switch off their electricity completely when they know there is going to be load shedding and switch it back on when power is restored to avoid surges," she says.
