Enraged by Eskom disconnecting my electricity because I haven't bought electricity of R300 or above

My electricity was disconnected yesterday without prior warning till today. Query reference number ***. When I called today 03 December 2020 @ 18:16 spoke to Maryln says that the reason is that I have bought less than R300 electricity so there's an audit that will take 3 business days before they reconnect me. I am flabbergasted at the fact that I must be told by Eskom how much electricity I must buy & if I don't I have my electricity disconnected. That means I must constantly be home in order to use electricity that adds up to be at that amount. I am currently using a gas stove to cook & am not home for me to use up electricity to that amount. Since when must Eskom control how I use my time and how much electricity I must buy? As it is I am not home they said the electrician will come to check the connection at their own time meaning I must now stay stuck at home to await them. What absurdity is that? My food is spoiling while Eskom controls my life. They say I must wait 7 business days until I am reconnected. There are people who don't even know how to even buy electricity but are connected 24/7 365 days of the year.
