SA floored by customer arguing with barber after load-shedding
A barber had been filming himself cutting a client’s hair when Eskom’s power cuts ruined the moment. The music that had brought in a good vibe to the shop suddenly stopped, followed by the lights and then the hair clipper.

The pair were shocked by the sudden power cut and looked at each other after realising that load-shedding had returned. The client asked the barber what his plan was because she wasn’t about to walk out of the shop looking weird.
The barber had no plan and shrugged his shoulders. The two then went back and forth which dusted Mzansi who watched their now-viral clip captioned:
“POV: Loadshedding hits while getting a cut.”

Load-shedding is back, Minister of Electricity explains issue
The Minister of Electricity, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, explained that Eskom experienced more breakdowns and capacity being offline which resulted in high levels of load shedding making a return. An article by BusinessTech shared that stage six of load-shedding was implemented on Sunday after over two weeks of no incident.
The minister apologised on behalf of the administration and said:
“The level of disappointment is well understood, especially because we were on the right path to eradicating load shedding.”
