My load shedding philosophy is to do this safely without damage to the grid, plants or humans in a controlled manner. It is unfortunate for those who no longer have access to grid power. Hopefully, emergency facilities have backups.
Making your house energy efficient is obvious, so is eventually getting back up power because it will be a long time before the grid capacity is up to scale.
In the meantime, get some batteries and small solar for your essentials DC electronics like house alarms, CCTV, radio and phones. Sit back and enjoy Braai time.

While that may work if you have your own home, what about the thousands that rent or so not have the funds to buy solar equipment etc? I worry about the poor in this situation as they are going to suffer the most.
Good tips though, and if we could only become self sufficient and not need eskom, they would not hold all the power
