"Load Shedding" Top 5 Page for this destination Cape Town Local Custom Tip by glennkasner

Cape Town Local Customs: 52 reviews and 48 photos

Load Shedding, well that's become quite a buzz word in Cape Town and the rest of South Africa recently. Our national energy supplier ESKOM has tried to blame this on the rapid develoment of the economy, locals blame it on ESKOM'S inefficiency but actually the real reason is that us locals care so much for this planet that we are prepared to go without electricity for extended periods to make this a better place to live.
Besides that, the hidden agenda is to market Cape Town (and the rest of South Africa) as a romantic destination where everone dines by candle light.
