Load-shedding essentials for every budget from Takealot
The latest stint of load-shedding has interrupted the lives of millions of South Africans, and there is unfortunately no end in sight.
Whether you are working from home and need power, or are keeping your family entertained after-hours, having an alternative power source is crucial to get you through the rolling blackouts.
Takealot can help
Takealot understands that many South African households currently don’t have sufficient measures in place to deal with Eskom load-shedding – and that these households think solutions are too expensive for them to afford.
This is why Takealot has focused on providing products that equip South African households to survive load-shedding regardless of their budget, ensuring that no one is left out from the benefits of alternative power solutions.
South Africa’s leading online retailer has curated many of its load-shedding products into price-based groups, where you can search for energy products that fit your budget.
The three groups include products below R3,000, below R5,000, and below R10,000 – and include UPSs, inverters, and rechargeable lights.
