Haaibo! Candles for Christmas? Eskom has Mzansi peeved

As South Africans count down to the end of the year, this weekend did little to ease the last stretch of 2018 after Eskom confirmed load-shedding would happen.

The power utility announced that stage 1 of rotational load-shedding would commence on Sunday, November 18. 

It said it would update customers about the schedule on its website and gave no date as to when full power would be restored.

It's the first load-shedding since 2016 predicted to last for more than a day and Twitter was not impressed.
