The people of Mzansi have their say about this Stage 6 nonsense

The general consensus is that Eskom might as well accept defeat and turn off the power for good because the people of Mzansi cannot take this nonsense any longer. They’d rather know they have to forage for firewood than have hours of power cuts just sprung upon them. We either live like modern people or go back to caveman days, this in-between is confusing. LOL, peeps are gatvol!

Take a look at what some had to say:
