The Case of SMMEs and Eskom's Load Shedding

Eskom's load shedding continues to place a strain on the economy, no more so than on small businesses.

Small medium and micro-enterprises (SMMEs) are the economic lifeblood of the country. The sector is providing employment to more than eight million South Africans spread across close to five million formal and informal SMMEs, contributing 40% turnover of all enterprises in the country.
