Amid South Africa's ongoing energy crisis, a woman from KwaZulu-Natal has captured the attention of social media with her resourceful approach to ironing her clothes.

In a TikTok video, the woman is seen using a hot pan as an alternative to iron due to loadshedding, the country's controlled power outages.

The video shows the woman heating a small amount of water in a pan over a gas stove. Once the pan is sufficiently hot, she places her wrinkled pants on a flat surface and carefully irons them using the bottom of the pan.

Woman makes eggs in SA heat

Briefly News earlier reported that a woman had netizens amused after sharing how she could fry an egg during loadshedding.

A TikTok video by @shiedaeilerd1 shows the woman testing the temperature of the gravel on a hot sunny day before placing a pan with oil on it in direct sunlight.

The woman then cracks an egg into the hot pan and fries her egg using just the heat from the sun as an effective solution to cooking it when there is no electricity.
