South Africa's electricity network is, according to energy experts quoted in 2748 newspapers online, about to collapse. Apparently expected between 30 and 60 days from now. Just as the new business year starts, see, and when all people talk down on how bad the previous year was and how great 2023 will be. Man, are you in for a surprise.
When a country's whole electricity grid goes down, it take weeks to get back online. And then the issues that led to the collapse, will still exist. So it may implode shortly afterwards again.
What is the only option the state-run monopolistic Eskom has to prevent such a fine example of the results of black management? By switching off all electricity to up to half of the country for weeks, even months, so the other half can have some electricity. Eeny meeny miney mow. A kilowatt for me, a candle for you.
Without regular electricity, cellphone towers stop working. No communication. Back to the bush era before the white man arrived in Africa. Credit card machines will stop working. No fuel transactions, no shopping.
