#Normalise: Loadshedding or straight up failure
This week's #Normalise is about something that we might never have really thought too deeply about, although it happens almost every day: loadshedding.
Every Friday, Vic gives you a scenario and you must decide if this should be normalised or not.

Vic gave Producer Rory the opportunity to say what he would want to #Normalise.
Rory mentioned that he's angry because for the second day in a row he couldn't make his morning coffee or charge his phone!
He feels that when he's at home and there's loadshedding, he wants to call it a power failure instead.
He knows Eskom has their reasons and technically it might be shedding a load, but to him, it's plain and simple: it's a power failure.

This led to Vic asking KZN: "Should we normalise calling loadshedding what it really is, a power failure?"
And KZN completely agreed with Vic and Rory, some saying that using loadshedding makes it sound more "mild", which it definitely isn't.
Listener Richard even said it doesn't matter what you call it "it still causes the same chaos!"
