The African country with by far the most advanced infrastructure and
largest energy supply increasingly appears to be on the verge of a
nervous breakdown, in its economic, ecological and electricity systems.
On a Sunday afternoon, February 10, generation capacity of more than
6500 MegaWatts of power supplied by the parastatal agency Eskom failed
to materialize. The next five days witnessed an historic low point when
the country’s installed electricity dropped to only 60% availability
(27,000 MW out of 43,000 MW), resulting in persistent ‘load-shedding’
black outs.
