Hello, Bonjour and Molweni<\/strong> from Cape Town where I live and work for two years. Due to the ongoing pandemic, I have arrived about 9 months later than planned. But I think all of us have realized by now that planning and COVID-19 are not much compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every now and then it happens that I don\u2019t have any electricity <\/strong>anymore. This doesn\u2019t happen only to me but to everyone in South Africa, it\u2019s commonly referred to as loadshedding where Eskom the supplier cuts off electricity for some hours in some areas. There are schedules in place to check when your neighborhood won\u2019t be supplied with electricity. Shortly explained: there is not enough electricity to supply the demand of everyone, we don\u2019t need to go further into the details of corruption and mismanagement\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned to be more aware <\/strong>of the loadshedding schedule as some restaurants can\u2019t serve food, you won\u2019t be able to pay with card and during evening time you find yourself in the dark. Loadshedding is a concept one must integrate into life here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
