The Minister was speaking during an interview with the SABC, but it's definitely not her policy adjustments that have SA talking.
In the hilarious clip that has since gone viral, Zulu speaks profoundly on issues regarding workers salaries. Before she can finish her thought, the lights go out and she humorously exclaims:
"Oh, no"
Social media reactions
The irony of the embarrassing situation was not lost on local social media users. Many remarked that even government officials are not safe from the nuisance that is loadshedding.
Still, others felt the entire incident was staged.

More silly moments caught on live TV
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Mzansi social media users are losing their minds for a hilarious clip of one cheeky news broadcaster who corrected her colleague while live on air.
During a live broadcast Jessica the sports anchor, corrected her colleague Elmarie Kapunda live on air, not realising that they are in fact, live.
The awkward TV moment
In the short viral clip, Elmarie attempts to have a little friendly banter with her college before the scheduled segment. But, Jessica is definitely not having it.
“No, we are not going to do that! You’re just going to greet me and say: Take it away.” she passionatley exclaims
An awkward pause follows before Elmarie informs her colleague that they're live. Another awkward pause ensues before the technical director mercifully cuts to commercial.
Social media reactions
Many are asking how on earth Jessica could forget that they are on air.Check out some of the comments below:
