Madala Marcus Molekwa and his wife, Junie Molekwa blame Eskom for the issues in their marriage.
The 78-year-old told Daily Sun that his wife has moved out of the house due to loadshedding.
Junie had to move out of the house due to her chronic illness; it was also revealed that some of her medicine needed to be refrigerated.
Madala misses his 71-year-old wife who is now leaving with relatives.
“I’m not happy. I lost weight because I cannot eat properly. I am worried about my wife. I love and miss her,” he said.
The madala from zone 2 in Ga-Rankuwa, Tshwane, said his cable, which connects electricity to his house, was stolen on 12 January while they were sleeping.
“It’s like Eskom has made me divorce my wife,” said Marcus.
Madala needs his cable to be fixed by the officials.
