Three main things that are not working in favour of South African lives
I am sure there were many many South Africans who missed some really important meetings, especially when they had to close a deal, or were in the middle of discussing one online. While in many parts of the world load shedding doesn’t happen, it was my first time experiencing this sort of electricity cuts in my two years here. I have never had to worry about the electricity going down unless there was a really important reason and I have always paid my bills. It was when COVID hit that I thought about how South Africans are going to keep the economy running while implementing social distancing when we have load shedding as a national issue compared to (so far, I know no other) other countries that don’t have this sort of a problem.
