Loadshedding is a scheduled power outtage and it is between 2 - 4 hours, once, twice or three times a day. It is section to another section not the entire town. Loadshedding is annoying because South Africa was the only country in Africa that had electricity 24/7. We are not used to this. Potholes are there but very isolated and mostly in the rural states. Our routes and main highways are tiptop. We as South Africans love to laugh at ourselves. We make small things a big deal to get it fixed. Those noisy birds are South African alarms. Seldom do they make such noise during the day but in the mornings and the evenings they are. The beautiful Chinese lady is copying that noisy bird (our fluing alarm). And when she dances it's our daily life. We dance when cleaning, dance when rioting, dance when in pain, dance in joy even after the funeral (after tears). We dance through it all. The small fleece blanket is a yes yes yes to all occasions. When cold we wrap it around at work, at home, to the shops, dancing at a party, at a wedding or chilling outside. It is always in our boot or backpack. We can't stand the cold around our waists. It is so fulfilling to eat with our hands. I love South Africa
This is so beautiful how you described our country and I agree. Especially the dancing. The first thing our babies learn before they can even sit is dance.
The woman at 9:10 was imitating the sound of a local bird (headed a or ibis) whose calls are VERY loud. As her TikTok says …. "If you know, you know". That same bird can be heard earlier in your video where you were asking what that guy does for a job if his view is so beautiful.
the blankie is real lol, i work in a big corporate company but when winter HITs we all sit at our desks with our fleece blankets over our legs lol (and yes we have aircon)
Bro my sister just said "imagine your kid is playing in the street and jumps in the pothole thinking it's shallow..." guys my blood pressure just went up
" Hit ocean ass pothole" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You Killed me.. My Country is crazy man. We use to have a very famous beer drinking goat called Dennis. nobody could out drink that goat. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
There are Areas where there is no load shedding happening, like Hospital sides, factory sides, and other areas where Electricity is not supposed to go off.
The first ckip of potholes was in Asia. RSA stands for the Republic of South Africa. The noisy birds are called Hadidas and always make that noise. Load shedding are based on fases from stage 1-6(or more) They normally give out notice for the hours both during the day and night. Yeah we drive on the left. Stearing wheel on the right. Yes Eskom is our only energy provider and traffic lights are called robots. The no stopping sign is for taxis that just stop where ever they want.
Loadshedding got to the point where it frustrated me so I went off grid running mainly Solar and Generators with backup batteries. Oh at 12:28 the sign below the robot/traffic light means do not stop. That chick at the end was eating pap not rice 😂
Funny enough we haven't been experiencing any loadshedding these days, I hope something good is coming up at Eskom...we enjoying these days seriously😂😂❤
Power outages are scheduled. Lower levels which are referred to as stages are 2 hrs long (sometimes twice a day) and the higher levels are 4 hrs long,in a day it can be planned out to be 2-4-2 when things are really hectic, but no one really likes these outages, worse we have a schedule, but we it still hits as a surprise. Luckily, shopping centres, hospitals have the back-up generators that kicks in. The animals in the township roam around freely - free range kinda vibe and no one steals them.
There's literally a sign right under the robot(traffic lights as you call them) that says "no stopping"... Ironic since one has to stop when the robot turns red...
South African living in Canada I always tell my friends that I miss waking up in the morning hearing the birds sound and flying all over dam my land is lit
there is an APP you download you add your location and it gives you your loadshedding schedule . each stage 1-8 has a time allocated to it. also you get a notification 55min before it goes off.
Talking about the dark side of SA. Someone should have done a video of all the security measures one has to take to guard one 's self and property from extremely violent armed robbers. Or at least CCTV footage of a hijacking at someone's gate. Besides loadshedding, hadidas and potholes the high rate of violent crime is what sets SA apart from any other country.
We do have schedules/App that tell us when load-shedding will take place. Even though we know the time, we always get shocked. It can happen in a day or not happen at all. Normally it last about 2hrs. Yes hospitals are exempt. And companies and a lot of private houses have generators or solar power.
The electricity has doubled and load shedding has also doubled. If you're on oxygen or life support at home not a hospital than your survival is slim to none
Loadshedding happenes different times of the day differently from each town This week is lights out at 22:00 until 00:00 midnight so it's just 2 hours, the schedule will change next week
Loadshedding is scheduled according to regions eg Joburg might experience 12:00 to 14:00. Pretoria might be 14:00 to 16:00. Yepp we have app for every suburb.
Lol yes 😂. Only in SA. We really can't deal with load shedding. You will often make dinner and almost 15 min in... it's like I cannot see a damn thing. Hospitals have generators 😂
My daughter and I moved to the Netherlands almost 5 years ago and she actually to this day misses loadshedding. They have a schedule, though sometimes it can also happen outside of the schedule. Depends on how strained your area is. The stages these days go up to 8! Which basically means your electricity goes off 8 times a day for a minimum of 2 hrs. As much as she misses loadshedding, she loves having central heating and good WiFi.
A lot of these are exaggerated. We don't have potholes this big - or at least, it's not common - I've never seen one this big, but you'll probably find that some sorta excavation took place to fox a water pipe or something and the road was just not repaired thereafter. Sink holes are usually filled pretty quick, if not by the government, then by the community. I've also never seen a robot with both the red and green lights on. They usually default to a blinking red light when they are reset for whatever reason, be it loadshedding or a fault with the "robot" itself. As for the sheep and cows - we have a lot of traditional people living all over the country, so they usually own cattle and those cattle are usually let out to graze in public. It's not SUPER common, but some really traditional people do it. You have to understand that labola is still huge in S.A. labola is a traditional way to pay a father for his daughter's hand in marriage - cattle are highly valuable in this regard. What I will say is, hardydahs (those birds), are REALLY common and load shedding is really common too. Everything else is exaggerated. "pOes" means "puss". Puss is the cuss word for "vagina" in S.A. RSA (Republic of South Africa). The Asian woman was making the hardydah sound in the first video of her and in the second video, she was dancing to Nkakakatha by Mandoza - it's practically South Africa's success/win/celebration anthem.
Where I stay in south africa we have about 2 to 4 hours of electricity because it's national loadshedding and then municipality also switch off. And yes there is videos in jhb of where people swim in potholes
The stop sign thing that had you confused was so obvious, yoy even said it. When the robot turns red, you obviously need to stop but then on the same robot is a sign that shows "no stopping allowed"
So 9:45 the the couple in the car are Afrikaans they're angry and swearing because, people are just driving on the side of the road behind the yellow line while their stuck in traffic. At the bottom it says "The bastards are just making their own lanes..."
Wow lucky you. You must be living in Centurion central cause Rooihuiskraal, The Reeds, Samrand etc experience it. At times there are straight four hour schedules.
Lol....We eat with spoons,forks and knives u name it..The lady was just having her pap thats what we call it which is used with hands usually...As u can see she is outdoors on a picnics vibe a mini blanket laid on the grass...
11:50 If you look closely, there's a 🚫stop sign underneath the traffic lights. So, if the light turns red, what do you do? Do you stop or do you keep going because there's a do not stop sign right there 😂😂🚫
No stop sign means you cannot stop but it makes no sense to be placed at traffic lights because you have to stop when it's red. Shanshan was making the sound of the annoying birds.
@12:20 .. Lool there’s a “No stop” sign on the traffic lights.. look closely .. so this basically means it’s a NO-Stop zone even if there’s a red light😂😂🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Those few houses that was still lit up, probably has solar-power. And those rowdy birds are called a Hadida. They do that to me every morning without fail, when i take the kids to school. And POES is a derogatory term for vagina. Generally used to insult or offend someone

Loadshedding so horrible in SA, it was top answer on SA Family Feud when Steve asked "Name a reason you would light a candle"🤣🤣

Only thing on time in South Africa is loadshedding 😂.... insane.
Yeah they do tell us the times though
@@its.me.khanyo hence, being on time.😅🤣😂😅🤣
That potholes video😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Too funny. Though it's not in SA😂😂😂
Stop asking where what is where in South Africa. Your trip here is long overdue - just tell us yesterday already when you are arriving 😂😅😂
I agree...some things cannot be explained, they are best lived🤞🏽

My granny taught my Hadidas make that noise while flying because it is scared of heights.😂
True. The blue truck pothole video is not South African. We drive on the left hand side not the right hand side.
There are potholes in our roads but that video is not in SA
Damn I’m curious to find out where that was from lol
That's not South Africa at all
Not SA
@@ThatFireLA I've seen that clip before, I think that pothole is in China, coz you could hear people speaking Mandarin, in the original video
😂😂😂😂😂
Loadshedding got to the point where it frustrated me so I went off grid running mainly Solar and Generators with backup batteries. Oh at 12:28 the sign below the robot/traffic light means do not stop. That chick at the end was eating pap not rice 😂
Mansas been in SA for year...on his way back now, but survived just fine.
she's not eating rice, that's pap and eating with anything other than your hand is crazy unless its pap and milk😂😂
RSA STANDS FOR REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
Shamsham was making Hadidas noises 😂...and that song she is dancing to is considered our "national anthem" ,play it anywhere everyone loses it😂
Lmao the load shedding thing sometimes they give us a schedule sometimes they freestyle . Sometimes 2 hours sometimes 4
Yeah Load Shedding is scheduled, and it doesn't go out throughout the whole country at once
Funny enough we haven't been experiencing any loadshedding these days, I hope something good is coming up at Eskom...we enjoying these days seriously😂😂❤
The elections are close.. they want yal to vote for the ANC again.
In my town.. 2 year old potholes are suddenly been filled.
Last night which was the first time in the day it went off for 2 minutes instead of two hours.😂

The first video killed me😂😂😂😂We even have apps for the blackout
There's literally a sign right under the robot(traffic lights as you call them) that says "no stopping"... Ironic since one has to stop when the robot turns red...
As a South African, your reaction to POES at 15:30 is HILARIOUS 😂😂
HAIBO 😮😅😂
So the other pothole is in the "city of Botswana?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
Red light green light, throw bones and your ancestors will answer you😅
🤣🤣🤣
Funny enough I'm watching this video in the dark😂
Haii 🥴🥴....
Yazin 😂.
As a South African I'd thul' because i have a lot to say😂😂😂😂 yhooo😂😕
Loadshedding take's network signal too😭
the lady immitating that bird is hilarious 🤣

The lady in white - she is imitating the birds you saw earlier on in our reaction video.
I'm South African I live in Pretoria close to the union buildings and we do not get black outs, EVER
That's so unfair...we'll come over there with the Eff comrades😏
Don’t move 😂and obviously you know why your lights don’t go off………..
9:30 the lady was imitating the noisy bid lmfao 🤣
The first pothole clip is not in South Africa🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Good. I was about say. DAYUM! 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😂
Yep it's not
i dont think the pot hole clips if from SA, we don't drive on that side of the road.
The Asian looking lady was making the sounds of the birds you heard in one of the previous videos 😂😅but she was way off with that
Talking about the dark side of SA. Someone should have done a video of all the security measures one has to take to guard one 's self and property from extremely violent armed robbers. Or at least CCTV footage of a hijacking at someone's gate. Besides loadshedding, hadidas and potholes the high rate of violent crime is what sets SA apart from any other country.
Loadshedding 🤣🤣light o u t🤣🤣
But the vid with cars flying off the potholes is not even in South Africa 😂
When the lights go out its called loadshedding in other words no electricity for a certain amount of hours 😂😂😂
I live near a hospital and we've never had loadshedding in this area
The deepest one though definitely in SA township
That crazy they better fix that shit lol
We do have schedules/App that tell us when load-shedding will take place. Even though we know the time, we always get shocked. It can happen in a day or not happen at all. Normally it last about 2hrs. Yes hospitals are exempt. And companies and a lot of private houses have generators or solar power.
Bruh the football stadium lights went out during a Live game 😅😅😅
The club should have a generator or something to power up electricity when load shedding kicks in.
If we stop paying taxes many women, children's, the elderly and the disabled will lose their livelihood, as little as it is it helps somehow
I love your comment on the government and the pot holes and the electricity is also from the government 😭😵💫😂
😂 stop and go all at the same time
She's not eating rice, it's maize meal - stywe pap
Bro them nice houses are everywhere in SA
She imitating those loud birds
The electricity has doubled and load shedding has also doubled.
If you're on oxygen or life support at home not a hospital than your survival is slim to none
😂😂😂😂 you nailed it 😂
Loadshedding happenes different times of the day differently from each town
This week is lights out at 22:00 until 00:00 midnight so it's just 2 hours, the schedule will change next week
The first pothole aint in SA

Eskom is the power company and they be loadshedding like three times a day.🤣
Its just like that...LMAO! Loadshedding.
Missed your reactions 😂🙌🙌🔥
It’s lit 🔥 more fire coming so happy to be back!
Lol yes 😂. Only in SA. We really can't deal with load shedding. You will often make dinner and almost 15 min in... it's like I cannot see a damn thing. Hospitals have generators 😂
When you eat with your hands it's culture and she's eating what we call pap
its a road sign that means no stop yet there are traffic lights at the same time🤣🤣🤣

😂😂it's not whole South Africa some places are affected and some are not
Those are not potholes,it’s sinkholes…big difference

Hospitals have humongous industrial generators. They're delivered via 26+ wheeler trucks. They also have other forms of technology to power up.
The birds are called ha DW dars
4:40 they don’t want to wait in the traffic, they rather damage their own cars

It's scheduled and there's an app for you to track your area. Folks forget and try to live life.
i live in Centurion (South Africa) ..... I've NEVER experienced Load Shedding , EVER ........ I've lived here for 2 years
Which part I'm trying to move there can't take it anymore
even here in Rosslyn (Pretoria) We do not experience that shit
Wow lucky you. You must be living in Centurion central cause Rooihuiskraal, The Reeds, Samrand etc experience it. At times there are straight four hour schedules.

I used to live Die Hoewes as well and we never used to experience loadshedding. I regret moving.😭
Shan Shan was doing the bird sound. You saw the birds from the guy with the nice view
Loadshedding is scheduled and can last for 2 hours if we lucky to 6 hours and some places and houses that can afford, have generators/invertors.
🚦it's not Go and Stop. It's Stop and Go 😂.
For the traffic jam come to Uganda same story 😂 even pedestrians get their own jam at that moment
Lol....We eat with spoons,forks and knives u name it..The lady was just having her pap thats what we call it which is used with hands usually...As u can see she is outdoors on a picnics vibe a mini blanket laid on the grass...

Shen-shen,depicts the sounds that the African crows are making.These are predominantly found in S.A particularly in Johannesburg and Durban.
