I hate it Ma’

And so do we, loadshedding!

Despite us having a generator, the whole palaver is painful. The most frustrating part is that both our home and my office are on the same schedules so there is no way of escaping the loss of power. In Shiv’s case, her failing eyesight means the sudden darkness, and returning to lights discombobulates her to the point that she walks into furniture that has not moved in years.

Eishkom have a lot more to answer for than they realize.
