Why cant South Africa keep the lights on?
For many years people in South Africa have been dealing with rolling blackouts.\nBut in recent days the outages have increased to six hours per day, causing unprecedented disruption. \nThe state-owned power company Eskom has blamed the most recent \u2018load shedding\u2019 on striking workers.\nOn Tuesday afternoon they reached an agreement with unions that could ease the supply issues, but warned that things could take time to get back to usual. \nIn the meantime, South Africans must live with the disruption and plan their days around power availability.\nThe BBC\u2019s Mo Allie says that the frustration is having an impact on people\u2019s mental wellbeing.\n \n#AfricaDaily
