If there's one topic that still on everyone's mind these days, it's the hot topic of 'loadshedding'!

Over the past 16 years, the country’s citizens have had to contend with a great deal of loss and uncertainty as a consequence of load shedding. This year has yet to reach its three-quarter mark, and ALREADY South Africa has confronted a STAGGERING number of power outages, surpassing the previous year's total.

Roger Hislop, Energy Management Systems Executive at CBI - energy spoke to Brad and SeanJ on KC Drive about the five stages of grief and its relevance to the nation's response to load shedding.
