the 3 ty's of business in south africa

 When businesses experience load shedding, some of them are forced to  close their doors because they cannot function or run their businesses  as they do not have the infrastructure and security is compromised. Load  shedding has the potential to breed theft as burglar alarms are  rendered unusable or rather cannot operate at optimal levels and this  leaves businesses vulnerable to theft and other criminal activities.  Small businesses are faced with loss of profits during load shedding  because in most cases they require electricity to function and run their  businesses. A loss of profits is as a result of loss of production,  where employees are essentially not working during periods of load  shedding. Not all small businesses have the privilege of alternate power  supply. Just with stage 2 of load shedding over the last couple of  weeks, South Africa has been said to have lost R2billion. 

 Terrestrial networks that do not have sufficient backup power suffers tremendously under constant power outages. Load-shedding directly impacts mobile network infrastructure, and, as a result, mobile Internet speeds tend to suffer.

A MyBroadband analysis showed that Vodacom and Telkom customers saw  the most significant drops in network performance during periods of  load-shedding.

  When there is a break in the main power supply, conventional  security features – electric fences, garage doors, security equipment  and gate motors – often become non-operational. This is particularly  dangerous during load shedding, as criminals are able to work around  the schedule and identify areas of weakness.
