With mid-year exams just around the corner, however, Grade 11 and 12 students are the ones who will suffer the most.
Eskom’s media desk says the decision to introduce load shedding is painful and not taken lightly.
The company says it is a measure of last resort to protect the national power system.
“Eskom Loadshedding stage 1has always reiterated that the electricity supply system will remain constrained for the next two to three years until new power stations come online,” says the company’s media desk.
Eskom understands the negative impact that load shedding has on businesses and the daily lives of the citizens.
The company claims it only implements Load shedding schedule explained in order to protect the power system.
A concerned parent from Duduza, Nomusa Dube (47), says she lives in fear of how children will study to for their mid-year exams since load shedding will not be ending any time soon.
“Children need their Grade 11 mid-year marks to register for university,”says Dube.
She advised parents to have alternative light sources available for their children.
