South African power supplier, Eskom recently made the announcement that there will be no load-shedding in the country between 10am and 2pm.
According to Eskom, this is so that everyone in the country may have the opportunity to watch King Goodwill Zwelithini's memorial service, which will be taking place on Thursday this week between those hours.
Many South Africans shared mixed reactions to the news. A lot of them questioned why Eskom could stop load-shedding for one event while on many other days the country has been plunged into darkness.

"Historically significant to some Zulus and not the whole country. I don’t understand why this Zulu king is treated like he was a King of SA."
@KSelobile said:
"Eskom's lying, there is already load-shedding here in Cosmo city."
@Linda82346433 said:
"When the dead are more important than the living..."
@22bless1 said:
"And our businesses are struggling with load-shedding and yet they have the decency to announce as if they are doing us a favour. Who said the whole country is interested in that funeral?"
@Ke_Morakile said:
"They've been saying the same thing with SONAs and ministers' deaths. So they've been making up stories about the whole load thing. Some serious investigation on tenders needs to be done at Eskom."
