Farmers battle with power cuts - Season 13 Episode 4

When electricians showed up to repair the municipal power lines, farmer Marius Theron and farm workers had to supply tractors and materials and assist the electricians with repairs. Farmers around Pearston in the Karoo describe the detrimental knock-on effects that municipal power failures have on farm and town households. Together with Eskom loadshedding, and the broken power lines of the Blue Crane Route Municipality, the workers suffer extreme losses. The farmers share how the outages can last for several days and that people cannot refrigerate food and have no drinking water. They are concerned that the lack of service delivery to the farms means that they have to employ less workers which contributes to the already high unemployment rate in Pearston.
