Loadshedding

I am just thinking out loud to myself. How are my kids going to explain this to their grand children. Was it something that brought the country down or a time we got to know each other around fire pits. No electricity meant WIFI was down and if you had a portable dongle it would struggle with connection because the towers would be either down or struggling themselves to cater. Fire pits were the best option.

I grew up in Dobsonville, Soweto and in those days, Dover stoves were the in thing. Houses would start polluting around 15:00 because stoves were being readied for heating and cooking. We too had to do the same.   

I have lost a TV set, a fridge and can see problems already with the replacements. It has taken longer for the current appliances because we learnt early or after replacements to get surge protectors. Now we double protect against Eskom. Whose Eskom, well google will still have a record of that gaint. I have had to replace my equipment and I am dreading the day I have to again look into replacing them.

Yes, loadsheding has been happening twice a day this week. On other days it has gone up to three times. I missed the warm ups and replays for the Champions League. 

Just living like that.....
