A video posted by Facebook user Themba Robin Behrens has got South Africans laughing through the constant blackouts rolled out by Eskom.

He feels that if we want to make it out of load-shedding alive, we better not look at it as an inconvenience, but rather as a gift that keeps on giving.

Instead of sulking over how everything comes to a standstill during power outages, he says we can use that time to unlearn our old ways of doing things and perhaps even find a new hobby.

Are you used to frying or boiling your eggs? How about you actually eat them raw? Try new things, like having your coffee cold instead of hot. How about a cold bath or shower? Toast? Well, ditch that.

Watch the hilarious video below:
