I don’t know about you guys and girls but I’m not a huge fan of sitting in the dark when Eskom decides to play silly buggers. The thing about load-shedding is that just when you think the worst is over it seems to jump up and bite you in the arse, which is why a little forward-planning goes a long way.

After some snooping we found a great Load-Shedding Survival Kit from R499 (FREE delivery) on Groupon and it basically covers all your bases. There are two options to choose from so let’s break it down:

R499 for two 2600mAh Powerbanks and 10 LED Touch Lights (R649 value)
R899 for four 2600mAh Powerbanks and 20 LED Touch Lights (R1 049 value)

Now here’s what that means to you when you’re left in the dark.

The Powerbanks are ideal for charging all smartphones and tablets, meaning you can keep everyone updated on exactly what you think of Eskom on Facebook and Twitter.

The LED Touch Lights are ideal for kitchen cabinets, bathroom walls, bedroom cabinets and walls. They will stick to almost any flat surface with double-sided tape (3m double-sided tape included), and use just 3AAA batteries (not included). The fact that you will get up to 12 hours of light on a set of batteries will keep even the harshest of load-sheddings at bay.
