What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

A wonderful stay at Evergreen. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable and the farm is ideally situated in a quiet area in GM. Rob and Lynnie are the best hosts you could ever have- warm and inviting and just nice people. I hadn't been to the Groot Marico in 4 years and I was reminded of how beautiful and relaxing a place it is. Will definitely be returning.
