South Africans react to guy who switches off the power for loadshedding
The clip quickly gathered over 1.3 million views and South African TikTok users were pressed. The current power crisis in Mzansi saw President Cyril Ramaphosa cancelling his trip to the World Economic Forum summit, yet South Africans still managed to make jokes.

Minister Enoch Godongwana says loadshedding will end in 12-18 months
Eskom has left Mzansi in the dark for weeks… literally. But, Minister of Finance Enoch Godongwana has shed some light on the future of loadshedding in Mzansi.
Briefly News previously reported that Godongwana stated on Monday, 16 January that they have a plan to end the power outages within the next year to 18 months.
The minister made the comment on the sidelines at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss resort of Davos. Mzansi citizens were not buying what he is selling. South Africans aren’t optimistic about the prospects about loadshedding ending in a year, with many taking to social media to say they’ve heard the empty promises before.
