The South African United Business Confederation (SAUBC) has voiced its panic over Eskom s continued power blackouts.
The group said Eskomâs inability to supply the country with reliable power harms the future economic status of the country.
In a statement, the group said rolling blackouts hurt small businesses the most, as many cannot afford fuel-powered generators for alternative sources of energy.
SAUBC president George Sebulela said: âIf load shedding is just one day then it doesnât have much impact, but if we have a week or two of load shedding then it has a significant impact on GDP.â
