Many Americans living in South Africa have joined the country in experiencing loadshedding. The lack of power has ravaged the country’s economy and forced many people’s companies to shut down. At least the brother didn’t have to shut his relationship down...

Woman tells Briefly News that her bae is used to loadshedding now
Hope Muronga told Briefly News how her boyfriend, Josh Schlueter, adjusted to loadshedding.
"He was aware that there would be loadshedding, but he was surprised that it would be gone for four hours. In the US, the power would occasionally get knocked out by a storm, which can be a struggle because you don't know when it will return. At least with loadshedding, you know when it will return. He immediately figured out how to use his battery to power the WiFi, which was helpful. He also started sleeping early because nighttime loadshedding is the worst," she said.
