Load-shedding has become a frustrating reality for South Africans, affecting daily routines and sparking countless memes and jokes online. With Eskom recently announcing a return to stage 6 load-shedding, meaning extended power cuts for many, citizens have once again turned to humour to cope with the situation.
One TikTok user @shanny,n took the opportunity to create a side-splitting skit that perfectly summarised the silliness of the ongoing power crisis, leaving online users in stitches.
The woman jokes about load-shedding
In the video, @shanny.n plays two characters. The first is her regular self, casually questioning whether the electricity is really about to go off. The second is a hilarious Eskom-inspired character, dressed in a blue work suit with a fake beard, responding in a dramatic, yet comical manner.
