We’ve been having some extreme load shedding in South Africa for the past few weeks. It has been an ongoing problem since 2007 or 2008 but has been particularly bad this year.

We’re just coming out of a stretch of having the power off 3 times a day (either for 2.5 or occasionally 4.5 hours at a time.) I am relieved that the power is only going off once for two and a half hours tonight now that things have calmed down a bit. It has been stressful.
