This was a very bad year for the South African economy, practically from all angles, and worst from a load- shedding perspective as Eskom gave us 180 days of load shedding in the first half of the year; which means we only had one day of no load shedding in the first half of this year.
The second half of 2023 has been equally bad in terms of Eskom’s load shedding; with some people speculating that some of the recent Stage 6 load shedding we have had could in fact have been as high as Stage 8.
