I am so over Eskom

I read your article about load-shedding this morning.

I live in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal. We have been experiencing load-shedding for weeks, or should I say months. I’m not sure what stage we are on most of the time.

There are many areas that do not experience load-shedding. I know parts of Salt Rock, Sheffield and Shaka’s Rock are never turned off, while we bear the brunt of it.

It is not right.

I have two small children and a business I am trying to run but we never seem to get a break from this.

I know Ashley in Pinetown is also never turned off.

I am so over Eskom. We need an alternative energy supplier.
