The struggle is real - my business, restaurant, can not survive loadshedding - 23 jobs on the line - I installed a 50kw silent generator replacing a small 7kw generator that has been in use since the inception of loadshedding but could not cope when it became more severe. Made a 180k loan for generator and installation cost R54k - Had to place the generator on a outside deck that I rent from the municipality since the body corporate would not allow it on their premises - Was served with a disconnection letter by COCT threatening to cut power to the whole building if I do not comply and register - although it is not embedded, still followed suit and done the registration - believe I am in for a long wait, which I can not afford.
