Why are there so many electricity blackouts in South Africa lately?
There are currently no "electricity problems" in the Republic of South Africa. There was an electricity shortage last year which lead to the implementation of daily planned power outages known as "load shedding". The reason stated by electricity supplier Eskom was that the current infrastructure could not meet the demands of electricity in the developing country. Critics cited corruption in the government as the root of the electricity crisis. They support their argument with proof showing that forecast reports and analysis made as early as 1998 showed that by 2008 the country's electrical infrastructure will not meet the demands. That report was ignored by the government. Today however, using funds from increased electricity rates, Eskom is rapidly upgrading its infrastructure with at least 5 new power stations being built. It should also be noted that the South African government supplies electricity to other countries in southern Africa as far up as the Democratic Republic of Congo. South Africa is the only nuclear power in the region and thus has to meet the demands of millions of people.
