Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

My daughter was married here in February 2011. It was the most perfect and beautiful location and a wonderful day thanks to the efforts of Yolande and Wiena who were so kind and helpful. It will live in our memories forever!
