If there's one thing South Africans love, it's a good sense of humour.

No matter how dark the times we find ourselves in have become, loadshedding pun intended, Mzansi always seems to find the lighter side of things.

Since Eskom, loadshedding, and all other power crisis-related drama has been the major topic of conversation on everyone's lips, it should come as no surprise that someone has taken it upon themselves to poke some fun at the power utility.

The joker, who is anonymous at this point, decided to hop onto Google and change the name of Eskom's head office building.

The building formerly known as Megawatt Park has been changed to, 'Eskom MegaGravy Train Park'.

You can see the name change below:

It seems like the company's digital and social teams have not yet noticed the name change, so who knows how long this new name might last.

Unfortunately for Eskom, just like loadshedding, this might become a more regular, if not permanent, occurrence.
