With the highest loadshedding globally, how true could this story be?
We are not even top 20
No way. We got loadshedding, data is expensive. Aai banamanga
I don't believe this to be true at all.
Think it's to keep Update with what's happening. Of we relied on papers and TV we would be so brainwashed. Nevermind we have to find out what is happening with electricity and service delivery because our municipality can't update us.
What else is there to do to keep yourself awake during loadshedding?

If only we could get starlink then we will have the people on the villages also on the internet

Nope, its China.
It’s a weird strange world out there nowadays. No eye contact minimal interaction almost zero communication outside of your ‘bubble’ almost impossible to make new friends or acquaintances. Sadly.
i don’t doubt that. Everyone is looking down
