Eskom and loadshedding

                

load shedding has dramatically changed the way people work, live and play

The way we live,Solar panels have become a common sight on rooftops in many neighbourhoods as homeowners look for ways to keep the lights on, and save on electricity costs.and the .Rising energy costs and changing regulations that make it possible to privatise energy supply will encourage more residents to include sustainable features into the home for some means to save power.

The way we play,Without electricity to power the electronics that keep us entertained at home, many people have reverted to more traditional games and activities to pass the time. Card games, like Cards Against Humanity, Codenames and good old Uno, are great fun, and add some competitive spice to a virtual night in with family or friends.

With the fact given that Eskom has relentlessly stunted the South African economy. Eskom, being the sole electricity provider for South Africa has fallen behind. Demand has drastically exceeded supply and thus has caused economic growth to become stagnant. Although there are several advantages to the monopoly, they are heavily outweighed by the disadvantages. It has become clear that competition needs to be created in the electricity industry to increase supply and being the sole provider in the market, enjoying abnormal profits, having freedom to control prices, being protected by high entry barriers, and having no close substitutes.

Moreover small business suffer from load shedding in the following way, production and productivity loss, Wi-Fi  goes down , security issues, payment issues, cellphone networks going down, electronic damage, increase traffic issues and increased costs in Alternative.
