This is when we really feel we are in a third world country. Due to mismanagement, corruption, incompetence, take your pick, our country doesn't have the electricity generation capacity to meet demand.
What's their solution? Loadshedding aka we shut you off for 3 hours at a time to ease the load on the grid. Tonight it is 8-11pm so I'm typing this on my phone by torchlight, last night it was 6:30-9pm, the day before 4-7pm, it's inconvenient to say the least.
The annoying thing is that if you go into the city all the tower blocks are ablaze with light. There are also rumors that electricity is being exported to Zimbabwe and Mozambique while we sit in the dark. Look after your taxpayers first!
We're returning to darkest Africa and its really tiresome.
