A Coloured from KZN who only knows English and isiZulu ...we proud of the isiZulu language as it makes us as one.Send me to Cape Town and Afrikaans will be foreign to all of KZN Coloureds 🤣🤣🤣..we prefer isiZulu and the amapiano music.😎🔥
    We even prefer the Zulu people traditional food such as tripe,steam bread.phutu,herbs and cow head👅🤤.

    5G infrastructure in South Africa was rolled out in most of our towers much easier with incredible connectivity pairings and fast transmissions. Telkom transitioned to Huawei tech and most infrastructure connectivity and migration from copper to fibre optic networks was rolled out. You pretty much get really great connectivity. Both LTE or FTTH you get the best. The pros about COVID times is the remote working. Firms changed to remote servers and cloud computing that quick. I've only work at the office once this year. It's amazing. I usually advise on having 2 set of internet connectivity interchangeable even with the challenge of loadshedding. LTE and WiFi through fibre. .

      A valid concern indeed. There are so many ways around it though and as some have mentioned it is scheduled and you can plan accordingly. I know people who uses solar panels, inverters, generators etc. or even going to restaurants for those 2 or so hours until power comes back. Loadshedding is on its last stages, there has never been a greater urgency to end this thing and I'm convinced that will be achieved soon.

      It is funny as Americans we really don't deal with this type of adversity kinda like Covid. South Africans knew what to do and America still don't know what to do. Just like Loadshedding it is scheduled you know and everyday South Africans know what to do during those times. To many work arounds from Solar to battery back up systems to generators when it happens. Generally it is not a everyday concern most of us forget about it until it happens agains months later.
