Some reprieve as #Eskom announces there will be no #loadshedding from 5AM on #Christmas Day until 5AM on Monday 26 December. Thereafter, Stage 2 loadshedding will be implemented. But that's where the good news ends...

Still no clarity from #Eskom on #loadshedding plans on Christmas Day 🙃To Sunday roast or not to Sunday roast?
"Stage 4 loadshedding is currently being implemented. Stage 3 loadshedding will be implemented from 05:00 on Saturday morning until 05:00 on Sunday morning. Eskom will confirm the loadshedding arrangements for Christmas Day based on the state of the power system." #SouthAfrica #News #EnergyCrisis #EnergyBlackouts

Should we all have our emergency cupboards (the ones previously used to stockpile for Brexit and get us through 10 days of Covid) ready for the #EnergyBlackouts ? Do you know where your torch is and have you got batteries for it? Are any additional blankets you might need easily accessible? Are you running down your freezer rather than risking loosing the contents?
