Loadshedding is becoming more and more frequent. Enduring long South African winter months with hours of no power is a real challenge for many.
Although there are several areas that have not been affected by loadshedding, many areas have endured the full grunt of between 6 and 10 hours or longer with no power.
Although the prospect of loadshedding is a daunting one, and there is a lot of uncertainty as to how Eskom will resolve the problem in the future, temporary solutions have become an oasis.
One of these solutions that we found to be very helpful is a website, loadshedding.com that was created to assist South African’s in navigating their way through loadshedding.
The website provides comprehensive information about all the latest news and insights from the current loadshedding crisis.

The developers of the website also created a widget called “Load Shedding Stage” that can be easily integrated to any website.
