Johannesburg, 24th February 2023 – While politicians, senior energy sector stakeholders, analysts, and activists continue to debate and fight over what is happening at Eskom and the effect of load-shedding on citizens, Thobile Nyawo, a young philanthropist and serial entrepreneur of Isambane Energy, is offering a solution that ordinary citizens can adopt to deal with this ongoing crisis.
South African citizens, businesses, and civil society organizations have been bearing the brunt of load-shedding for far too long. The regular power cuts have disrupted daily life, impeded economic growth, and impacted the livelihoods of millions of people. The situation has become so dire that many people have lost faith in the government and the energy sector, and are left feeling helpless and frustrated.
Thobile Nyawo believes that ordinary people should not have to rely solely on politicians and bureaucrats to resolve this issue. Instead, they can take matters into their own hands and explore alternative solutions. This is where Thobile Nyawo and Isambane Energy come in. As a serial entrepreneur, Thobile has been actively working on renewable energy solutions that can help South Africans mitigate the impact of load-shedding and create a more sustainable future.
Nyawo’s approach is simple yet effective. She is focusing on providing affordable, accessible, and reliable renewable energy solutions to individuals, businesses, and organizations through Isambane Energy. Her solutions range from solar-powered generators and battery systems to energy-efficient appliances and lighting. He is also working on community-based projects that can help to promote renewable energy and create local jobs.

By empowering ordinary citizens to take control of their energy needs, he is demonstrating that change is possible and that there are alternatives to the current energy crisis.
