Eskom's six hour long loadshedding is nonsense and absurd it must stop
I am very much concerned and worried about this loadshedding Eskom is subjecting us to, it is very absurd and annoying because it seems like it's only for a selected few. Why is it that Eskom can't share this burden fairly amongst all the areas, how come that we get to experience 6 long hours of loadshedding, how possible is that or what actually motivates such long hours? The saddest part in all this is that, we get to suffer and experience burglaries in our homes during those long hours of darkness. For instance in my household it is only myself, my 2 girls and my grand daughter so imagine if these guys break into our house and raping all of us in that darkness, because the worst thing us that, during the loadshedding unfortunately even the network stations seem to be off so there's no way one can even call for help, like there's no lifeline at all it's very unfortunate. My niece has a coc**** so her hearing is dependent on the very electricity since her batteries have to be recharged daily, so with 6 hours of no power clearly Eskom is violating her hearing. She's in grade 7 and will soon be expected to return to class, how is she supposed to cope in class and go by her day. I'm not sure what stage loadshedding is this but in my view I think Eskom is taking advantage of disadvantaged areas because if it was a countrywide problem, every area would get a fair share of power cut because we do understand the challenges that it's faced with. Unfortunately if it's a matter of non payment then how come we all get to be painted with the same brush because in my area particularly (Braamfischer ext2) we r buying our electricity. I am therefore pleading with Eskom to please re look at their timetable and reschedule accordingly, in a fairly manner and that will cut down loadshedding long 6 hour time to atleast 1 to 2 hours at most. And maybe will experience a fewer loadshedding than we are currently experiencing about 3 times a week of 6 long hours shedding. Eskom.must please come to the party and stop this nonsense on black people .
