Ekonome van Alexander Forbes het aangedui fase 6-beurtkrag kos Suid-Afrika elke dag meer as R4 miljard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naas die nywerheidsektor is die toerismesektor een van die Weskus se belangrike inkomstestrome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gereelde beurtkrag het gewis \u2019n noemenswaardige negatiewe impak op plaaslike hotelle, gastehuise en vakansieoorde. Elektrisiteitsvoorsieningspro-bleme jaag plaaslike sakelui heelwat meer uit die sak, maar ten spyte van die feit dat die plaaslike toerismebedryf steeds met die gevolge van die Covid-19-inperking worstel, oorleef baie van hulle steeds en het hierdie ondernemings nie \u2019n ander keuse as om aanpasbaar te wees nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is Suid-Afrikaners. Ons is aanpasbaar en so ongerieflik soos dit ook al mag wees, beurtkrag het al deel van ons lewe geword,\u201d het John Kilroe-Smith, hoofbestuurder van die Club Mykonos-vakansieoord Maandag by navraag aan Weslander<\/span> ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Weslander<\/span> het by \u2019n gastehuis, \u2019n hotel en \u2019n gewilde vakansieoord gaan aanklop om te hoor hoe hulle hul gaste ten opsigte van beurtkrag akkommodeer sodat die kragkrisis hulle nie onderkry nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kragopwekker word ingespan<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Michelle Bongers, bestuurder van die Golden Key-gastehuis in Vredenburg, s\u00ea die gastehuis het \u2019n kragopwekker wat in die 11 gastehuiskamers se elektrisiteitsbehoeftes tydens beurtkrag voorsien. Sy s\u00ea gereelde beurtkrag is beslis \u2019n groot ongerief vir die gastehuis aangesien die brandstof wat die kragopwekker gebruik baie duur is en dit \u2019n geraas maak wat steurend vir sommige van hul gaste is. \u201cOm die kragopwekker aan die gang te hou kos \u2019n stewige bedraggie,\u201d het sy erken.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSommige gaste verstaan die situasie, maar \u2019n mens kry altyd jou moeilike gaste,\u201d het Bongers verduidelik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Olielampies in kamers<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charisma Spamer van die Paternoster Hotel s\u00ea hulle gebruik ook kragopwekkers om elektrisiteit aan die hotel se kroeg, voorportaal en gange te verskaf. Die kragopwekkers is egter nie voldoende om krag aan die hotelkamers ook te gee nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Olielampies is in die kamers geplaas sodat gaste lig in die donker kan h\u00ea wanneer daar beurtkrag is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn hierdie stadium werk die olielampe vir ons die beste. Dit is natuurlik ook \u2019n risiko, want dit kan omgestamp word en \u2019n brand veroorsaak,\u201d het Spamer verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spamer s\u00ea hulle het besluit olielampies is hul eerste keuse aangesien herlaaibare noodgloeilampe soos soetkoek verkoop en nie altyd plaaslik beskikbaar is wanneer \u2019n mens dit nodig het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wanneer \u2019n belangrike rugbywedstryd tydens beurtkrag uitgesaai word, soos hierdie Saterdag wat verby is, maak die hotel baie seker die kragopwekker is vol petrol en gereed vir die onvoorspelbaarheid van die beurtkragrooster wat gedurig verander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sonkrag en noodligpartytjies<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens John Kilroe-Smith, bestuurder van Club Mykonos in Langebaan, een van die gebied se grootste vakansieoorde, gebruik die oord kragopwekkers vir die casino, restaurante en winkels tydens beurtkrag. Selfherlaaibare noodgloeilampe, wat \u2019n ingeboude battery het, is in elke kamer ge\u00efnstalleer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHierdie gloeilampe werk baie goed, maar is duur,\u201d het Smith ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aanvanklik was daar ook van hierdie gloeilampe in die oord se openbare plekke soos gange en stegies ge\u00efnstalleer, maar die gaste het die gloeilampe glo gesteel aangesien dit maklik uitgeskroef kan word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daar is egter ook drabare, herlaaibare ligte in elke kamer waarmee gaste snags kan loop wanneer hulle casino of restaurant toe stap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Smith s\u00ea hul gaste raak soms baie kreatief wanneer beurtkrag toeslaan. In \u2019n stadium het die gaste \u201cnoodligpartytjies\u201d gehou. Gedurende beurtkrag sou elke gas \u2019n noodlig neem en iewers ontmoet om saam aan aktiwiteite soos bordspeletjies deel te neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die oord beplan wel in die toekoms meer en groter kragopwekkers om krag aan die oord se talle akkommodasie-eenhede te verskaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBrandstof vir die kragopwekkers is egter \u2019n groot uitgawe en die petrolprys gaan gedurig op,\u201d het Smith ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die oord het wel \u2019n sonkrag-aanleg op die perseel, maar dit kan slegs elektrisiteit tot die oord bydra as dit deur batterye of kragopwekkers, \u2019n opsie wat ook oorweeg word, aangedryf word. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ekonome van Alexander Forbes het aangedui fase 6-beurtkrag kos Suid-Afrika elke dag meer as R4
