Subject: Importance of Exempting Load Shedding During Sehri and Iftaar Times

Dear Eskom / City Power,

I am writing to you to highlight the critical importance of exempting load shedding during Sehri (pre-dawn meal) and Iftaar (breaking of fast) times, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.

During Ramadan, Muslims around the world fast from dawn till dusk, abstaining from food and drink. Sehri is the meal consumed before dawn, allowing individuals to sustain themselves through the day of fasting. Similarly, Iftaar marks the end of the fast, and it is essential for individuals to have access to electricity to prepare and break their fast safely and comfortably.

Exempting load shedding during these times is not just about convenience; it is about respecting and accommodating the religious practices and needs of a significant portion of our community. It ensures that individuals can fulfill their religious obligations without unnecessary hardships.

Furthermore, electricity is crucial for refrigeration, cooking, and other essential tasks during these times. Load shedding during Sehri and Iftaar can disrupt these activities and pose challenges to individuals and families observing Ramadan.

By exempting load shedding during Sehri and Iftaar times, we demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity, religious tolerance, and support for the diverse religious practices within our communities.

I urge you to consider this matter seriously and take necessary steps to ensure that load shedding is exempted during Sehri and Iftaar times, providing individuals with the opportunity to observe Ramadan with dignity and ease.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Ridwaan Mohamed

Government should show kindness and compassion during this Holy month not only to Muslims but extend this to other faiths as well.(Important religious days that other faiths have)Like government did during the Christian Christmas periods.

I'm a Muslim and we will be fasting this month from the dates stated above. Being exempted will make our daily routine alot easier and allow us to fulfill our religious obligations more efficiently

I agree with the petition

Ramadhaan is a month of sacrifice

But we need the bare basics like electricity and water especially during the stipulated times to begin and end our fast
