Cape Town - Fin24 users are increasingly adding their voice to our load shedding survival guide.
A retired Fin24 user says he has spent close to R45 000 in the last week to prepare for the continuous load shedding.
South Africans endured an 11th consecutive day of load shedding, although the last 3 was only stage 1 and only during the evening peaks between 17:00 and 22:00.
User WJ Stowe writes: "I have just read Chris's article about reducing consumption but not to cut back too much as it will hurt revenue in the long term. Well Chris I have this to say to you. We are in the dwang thanks to bad decisions made by the governing ANC. I am retired and cost outlay in the last week:
"I will do everything in my power to reduce consumption until I have recovered this huge loss as a pensioner. Try sourcing a generator. The cost does not stay there.
"Tough for the government and Eskom. I guess revenue is needed for the late project overruns and needing to finance nuclear.Take this with you to Cyril (Ramaphosa) in the War room. I am not alone."
