It’s been a tough few days of load shedding and it’s no surprise that the nation-wide blackouts have had the whole country talking
On Monday Eskom announced Stage 6 load shedding for the first time in South African history and it seems as if many people have reached their breaking point.
Celebrities have not been alone in complaining about the latest updates from the power supplier but you can tell that they, along with the rest of the country, are well and truly fed up.
Fix it Eskom, please!
Here’s what Mzansi’s own stars have said about load shedding…
Thuli Phongolo
Thuli Phongolo echoed the country’s frustrations when she took to the timeline to vent about the latest round of load shedding. It hasn’t been easy for anybody, even the famous among us!
Load shedding is the actual pits, I can’t contend!!!

AKA
As fingers were pointed at the Guptas, Jacob Zuma, Cyril Ramaphosa, Eskom, Brian Molefe and more names, AKA decided to measure the opinions of his followers as to who is to blame for our current energy mess.
To nobody’s surprise, it was obviously AKA’s fault.
Poll time. Who’s fault is Stage 6 load shedding?

Nandi Madida
Raising two kids is hard enough. Raising two kids without electricity is a nightmare, just ask Nandi Madida who was beyond fedup with Eskom’s conduct.
Here I am happy, hopeful, trying to catch up on Zozi’s amazing win and then.. loadshedding 😢.. guess something’s will never change.

Bonang raised a valid point; how could we welcome our brand new Miss Universe with open arms if we can’t even light up the runway for her because of load shedding?
How embarrassing!
Imagine Miss Universe coming back home go se na motlakase?! No. @Eskom_SA
