Just after Eskom’s long-term load shedding forecast in January, SADAG sent out an online survey to the public. A total of 1 836 respondents reflected on the ways that load shedding impacted their daily lives, their fears, their feelings, and how they were managing to cope with this crisis. SADAG was especially interested in uncovering specific pressure points that could lead to adverse psychological and practical outcomes. Chat with Bronwyn Dworzanowski-Venter (Researcher & Sociologist) and Sikander Kalla (Clinical Psychologist) as we unpack the results from the survey and talk about the impact load shedding has on Mental Health and how we can navigate our lives around load shedding going forward. |
