A local guy, with an alter ego oom Piet, shared a comical video jokingly offering tips to European countries like Spain and others after they faced blackouts.
The clip shared on his Facebook account, Sed Pillay, grabbed the attention of many social media users, who were entertained by the man playing the ultimate load-shedding guru.
Oom Piet gives power cut advice
The clip, taken around his house, follows the man moving to different sections. It starts with him throwing shade at countries unfamiliar with electricity cuts, such as Spain, Portugal, Brazil and France. Standing by an indoor built-in braai area, he told them not to worry if they can't switch on their stoves, advising them to braai instead. He also warned folks to carry a candle to the toilet at all times, saying they'd never know when light would disappear while busy with their business.
