A South African law firm's gearing up for a 'David versus Goliath' battle in court.
It's taking on Eskom and it's asking you to join its class action lawsuit if you or your business has suffered quantifiable losses thanks to loadshedding.
Elaine Bergenthuin of De Beer Attorneys says Eskom's failure to do its job is at the heart of the matter.
She says they've been approached by companies across the country who say business for them came to a standstill during power cuts.
The firm has set up a special email address Eskom@debeerattorneys.com for people to get in touch.
Bergenthuin says if companies have proof that they sustained losses and have a quantifiable claim, they can certainly look at that
She says several factories had to shut down which led to damages to equipment and loss of money, reputation and good will.
