In tweets: Twitter users find the hilarious side of load-shedding

South Africans have a general gift of finding the humorous side of the country crises and load-shedding is no different. 

As South Africa tries to survive the recent stint of load-shedding, Twitter users couldn’t help but laugh to themselves in the dark:

The ANC government has brought us load shedding and tear shedding. We shall bring them vote shedding. #LoadShedding
