That is shocking.
IIRC, there were small business that had to close because loadshedding impacted on their business so much that they could not sustain their losses.
People's livelihoods destroyed - for illegal profit.
Load shedding in and of itself wasn't engineered. The state capture only came in at the end. The emergency coal procurement was after load shedding had already started and the problem itself was deeper and is still there.
