Eskom has however provided consumers with tips to make your life a little easier during load shedding. The key is planning ahead, and staying ahead of the frustration.
“Electricity is extremely helpful in our everyday lives – but sometimes it can go wrong and you are left with a power failure. It is important to know what to do and what to look for should this happen to you,” the power utility said in a statement.
When the power goes off, remember:
· Always keep children away from lit candles, plugs or power sockets.
· Invest in a small LP gas heating ring to prepare food and boil water.
· Always have battery operated torches in cupboards around the house that you can easily find in the dark.
