Power cuts. They\u2019re the bane of most South Africans\u2019 lives\u2026 and a massive political headache due to their disruptive, ongoing and frustrating nature. The causes are myriad: including ageing infrastructure, faulty power plants and deliberate sabotage.\n \nBut where there are challenges there are always entrepreneurs ready to take advantage, and many new businesses are springing up \u2013 providing solutions based on technologies like solar power and inverters, which store electricity the same way a mobile phone power bank does.\n \nFor Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja takes a look at those finding light \u2013 and business opportunities \u2013 amongst the blackouts.
