The issue of load shedding in the country is a thorn in the side.
It really breaks lives.
I think Mzansi citizens are taken for a ride on this one.
Our country does not need any of this because of the high unemployment rate.
While we experience this injustice of load shedding, jobs are lost because companies run at a loss and lives are lost, especially in hospitals, where patients would be in an emergency needing power to stay alive.
Crime also increases as thugs take advantage of the darkness and above all this, our economy is fast depreciating.
Fridges stop working and the food in them gets rotten.
This is proof that this load shedding situation has adverse effect on our everyday lives.
It's bad because there is now talk of stage eight load shedding on the cards.
This is not right for anyone.
The government and other stakeholders need to come up with real solutions and stop pointing fingers.
