Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

The setting was lovely, receptionists and "Granny" delightful. We especially loved the incredibly delicious homemade pizzas custom made for us by Laomi (made and served with love).
