Sorry to be so absent everyone - there are bigger problems in the world I know, but these rolling blackouts are becoming a real challenge. Eleven hours a day now, in increments, with no sign of letting up. Something like 120 consecutive days of load shedding and we are on to four hour stretches. Not a lot of fun - crippling for small businesses especially, and with colder, darker days approaching, the outlook is decidedly dark! I feel very sorry for people with young families and for the elderly who don't have options. It's criminal, IMHO. Corruption that simply boggles the mind coupled with zero expertise.
Was talking to my Mom on the phone the other day. Says pretty much the same thing as you. The economy cannot continue in those conditions. I remember the days when we joked that the last one to leave South Africa should turn off the lights. Turns out even that won't be needed anymore.
