Employers often do not have the resources to pay their employees in the event of a power cut.

To go beyond that (two hours) is totally unthinkable, you will destroy the whole business day.

The major concern is obviously to be able to get notification well in advance... We cannot continue like this. It is impossible when the City of Cape Town is not able to clearly inform business when outages will occur.

The immediate monetary impact is one thing, but now people are saying we will be paying for this for months and years to come.

Our power play just wasn't clicking.

It's hogwash. An individual patient is not going to have more bargaining power than a huge pool of employees or insured people.
