Vodacom - NetworkShedding!!!

I am a Vodacom Contract Customer and I just cannot believe what is happening!!! Our phones have not had any network since Yesterday Afternoon... We cannot receive/make calls or even send/receive SMSes!!! This is such bad service and we paying every month... Then we call and all they can say is "Sorry", & the blame LoadShedding for not having any network for almost 24hrs now - MTN, Cell C and Telkom are still on!!! I regret taking out my Contract with them. The terms for a contract is that the consumer is always expected to pay their premiums - what happens now when the Company is not coming to the party??? We are paying for nothing - Vodacom needs to take responsibility!!! What if we receive emergency calls and our numbers go to Voicemail???
