Eskom Se Push: Keeping Us Out of the Dark

Whether planning business operations, cooking schedules or simply when to shut down a computer, for most people, trying to make head or tail of loadshedding schedules seemed to require a combination of patience, the brains of a codebreaker, and a touch of clairvoyancy.
