Power cuts, or load shedding as it is also referred to, will resume again today (3 March 2008) across South Africa. Small businesses across the country are going to be hit the hardest as it is reported that outages could last up to four hours at a time. Even though they are saying that load shedding will only occur twice a week, if that is the case and each outage is four hours long that would mean a business will loose eight working hours every week which in essence is a whole working day.
Even if they are able to stick to the schedule (which I doubt) , the impact on the economy is huge.
People fail to realise the scale of the crisis - wait until winter sets in.
