Tips during load shedding
- ✓ Charge phones, laptops, power-banks before scheduled cuts.
- ✓ Cook ahead — boil water for thermos flasks for tea/coffee later.
- ✓ Keep fridge / freezer closed during outages — opens minimally.
- ✓ Plug sensitive electronics (TVs, computers, fibre routers) into surge-protected strips.
- ✓ Treat traffic lights that are out as four-way stops.
- ✓ Drive with extra caution — street lights are off.
- ✓ Keep candles + matches accessible but supervise children.
- ✓ Backup gas cooker / inverter / solar lights are good investments.
