What to do when the lights go out
In light of the current load shedding in Zululand, a few readers tell us what they get up to when the power goes off.

I make this quality time for me and my daughter. Suku loves my attention, so when the TV is off and the my phone’s battery dead, we have a mini picnic at home where we roll around enjoying each others company

When the electricity goes off it immediately gives my mother a reason to talk to me about anything that comes to mind. I mean I have my own walkie talkie at home. I miss watching reruns of my favourite TV series

I play cards and have a one man act talent show

I just chill and have a chat with people in my office. Its a chance for me to get to know them better because I’m still new at the workplace

When the electricity goes off my friends and I gather at my house to chat and gossip. We stay out even when the electricity comes back on

I make sure my laptop is fully charged so I can watch movies and play my music from it. I create my own cinema space in my room. Sometimes I even forget its off till I look outside and see darkness
