Load shedding for up to six hours per day is costing businesses, especially small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) a load of money in lost income or extra expenses for alternative power sources.
In response to the announcement of the introduction of Stage 6 load shedding by Eskom, Overstrand Municipality has set contingency plans in place to ensure minimum disruption to basic services.
International Fire Fighters’ Day (IFDD), celebrated annually on 4 May to honour firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty, also marked the opening of a firestation in Hermanus.
