Loadshedding is back with a bang, leaving us all stuck in darkness for two and a half hours near daily. As a result, we’re probably all in need of some extra candles to help light our homes.
We may as well take this opportunity to support small businesses, as we know how important that always is. Here are a few local candle brands you can shop from right now:
