Year in Review: That time an Eskom worker shared some behind-the-scenes footage

Don't panic, we are in the clear for now, fingers and toes crossed.

We take a look back at that time when an Eskom worker shared some behind-the-scenes footage of how they implement load shedding in the Rustenberg district. 

It is a sensitive topic that leaves many people with a sour taste in their mouths. 

But for now, we are in the safe with no load shedding scheduled currently. 

Take a look at the video below, courtesy of TikTok

The Eskom employee took to social media to show people how the load shedding procedure is implemented. 

"The specialist captions the video with some critical information: ‘’Load shedding stage 4 operating 11 000 volts without an arc flash suit, this is asking for trouble. It has become a norm to commit unsafe acts in the work place."

As we enter 2024 with room for only positive vibes, we here that Load shedding will return this week. So, be prepared. 

Perhaps we are being overly optimistic but we can only hope for better news about the future of load shedding.
