Yup Mike, off periods for certain areas, are starting to be stretched over days now. Soon it will be weeks, then months, and then it will be like Nigeria, where large areas only get their electricity from their generators.

Reducing electricity consumption or seeking alternative forms of power isn't going to be the long term solution because electricity is often the most convenient and efficient source of power especially for manufacturing.
Robotic production lines, injection molding machines, etc. aren't going to run very well off candle power.
The article seeks to address the results of a problem instead of the cause - the ANC and Eskom.
