00:00If you have an item that has a tag on it, right?
00:03You know, the metal tag on clothes or, you know, the little sticker.
00:06We all know what happens when you walk past the sensor.
00:09It beeps.
00:10Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
00:13Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
00:14Even if you hide it.
00:16Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
00:18Right?
00:19We all know how it works.
00:21But then somebody discovered that if you have the item
00:28and then you shake.
00:45It doesn't beep.
00:49I swear on my life.
00:50Guys, it went viral on TikTok.
00:52People started doing it.
00:54You must try it.
00:54You must try it.
00:56No, I'm not saying you must steal, guys.
00:58I'm not saying you must steal.
01:00I'm saying go to a shop.
01:03Pay for something.
01:04When you've got the receipts, tell them,
01:06please, don't take off the tag.
01:07I want to try something.
01:09But you must have your receipts
01:10because I don't want you guys blaming me now.
01:12Just try it.
01:14Take the tag, go to the door,
01:16and shake.
01:18Shake.
01:18Shake.
01:20Shake.
01:21Shake.
01:22Shake.
01:23Shake.
01:25It doesn't beep.
01:27That used to be my favorite story
01:30because it's true
01:31and because it caused chaos.
01:33Yeah, stores in America started losing stock.
01:35They didn't know what was happening
01:37because they were like,
01:37what's happening?
01:38Nothing's beeping.
01:39You know?
01:40They were like,
01:40is there anything strange going on?
01:41They're like,
01:41no, some people are just shaking when they leave.
01:45But we don't know what it is.
01:47I was like,
01:48that's something that could never happen in South Africa.
01:50Yeah, South African security guards,
01:52they don't play those games.
01:56Because one of the parts
01:57that made this story extra special in America
01:58was that some security guards
02:00didn't want to stop people
02:00from leaving the store shaking
02:02because they didn't want to offend anybody
02:03who might be shaking for other reasons.
02:07Yeah, and then they didn't want to offend people.
02:08But here,
02:08there's no one who's afraid of offending anybody.
02:11Which, you think there's a security
02:12who's scared of wokeness.
02:14In South Africa,
02:15here, the security guard,
02:16he'll just look at you and be like,
02:17hey, hey,
02:18hey, hey, stop shaking.
02:20Hey, so shake her up.
02:22Hey.
02:25So that used to be my favorite story,
02:26by far.
02:28Until what I learned at home.
02:31Because here's the thing I want to know
02:34about this.
02:35Who was the first?
02:39Every story has a beginning.
02:41Who was that pioneer at home
02:45who discovered a flaw in the system
02:46and then took advantage of it?
02:50Who was that person
02:51shopping with their family,
02:53buying things for the house,
02:56pushing the trolley around,
02:58casually,
02:59just there like,
03:00no, no, don't get the breadboard.
03:02Get the breadboard.
03:03Get a knife there as well.
03:04Yeah, yeah.
03:04But get the knife set as well.
03:05Obviously, you want to buy.
03:07No, no, no.
03:08Get, yeah.
03:08Did you, hey.
03:10Did you get,
03:10Dinesh, did you get the,
03:11you got the kettle?
03:13No, no.
03:14Why are you getting brabantia there?
03:15Why are you getting brabantia?
03:16We don't need brabantia, right?
03:17That's expensive.
03:18Don't just put it.
03:19Get it cheap one day.
03:20Yeah, it's for your mother-in-law.
03:21Relax, relax.
03:22Bring that, bring that.
03:23Yeah, put it in, right?
03:24No, because we've got to get
03:25all the things right
03:25for the housewarming.
03:26And then what are we going to do?
03:28Damn it, the load shedding.
03:29Oh, the trolley, the trolley.
03:30Hey, damn it.
03:31Hey, the trolley went out the shop there.
03:33For a moment, I thought.
04:15Hey, Suresh.
04:21Did you hear that?
04:25No, I didn't hear nothing.
04:29Exactly.
04:39Bring a PlayStation there.
04:49I want to meet that pioneer.
04:55You guys don't believe me.
04:56Go and shake.
04:57You'll see.
05:04Ah, South Africans.
05:06Truly, load shedding
05:07has changed everything.
05:09And I mean, it was bound to happen.
05:12When you have that much load shedding,
05:14people are going to start,
05:15you know,
05:15they're going to start adapting to it.
05:17Right?
05:18Hedonic adaptation.
05:19It's what happens.
05:20When you're in any situation for long enough,
05:22you start to adapt to that situation
05:23and it becomes the new norm.
05:24That's what's happening in South Africa.
05:26Because now it's like, you know,
05:28stage six load shedding.
05:29You're like, what?
05:30It's wild.
05:31You know, the wildest load shedding
05:32I experienced
05:33was four hours in the morning
05:35and then again
05:36four hours at night.
05:40I'm sorry, guys.
05:42Can we have an agreement?
05:43Can we just make an agreement
05:44here in South Africa?
05:45And let's just say
05:46at some point
05:47we can't keep calling it load shedding.
05:50Yeah, because load shedding implies
05:52that there is a load
05:55that needs to be shed.
05:59But now if there is more shedding
06:01than load
06:03we have to find another name.
06:05Right?
06:06It's like it's misleading now.
06:07Like at some point
06:08we're going to have to name it
06:09by the time
06:10where there is electricity
06:11not by the time
06:12where there isn't electricity.
06:13You know what I mean?
06:14Yeah, at some point
06:15you're just going to be like
06:15it's time for power hour.
06:19That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
06:21It's time for power hour.
06:22That one hour in the day
06:23when you get electricity
06:24to use all of your appliances.
06:26Our number one contestant
06:27for today is Tembi.
06:28Tembi, what are you going to be doing
06:29with your one hour of electricity?
06:30I'm going to be using my blender
06:32to make a smoothie.
06:34Ha ha, Tembi.
06:36That's it.
06:37Power hour.
06:38Proudly brought to you
06:39by Eskom.
06:53It's time for power hour.
06:55It's time for power hour.
06:55It's time for power hour.
