OP South Africa is experiencing increasing power black outs; Insufficient maintenance, a growing GDP and insufficient planning are the culprits. However, the national power utility (Eskom) refers to these power outages as "load shedding" and not black outs. We are convinced that Eskom is now one of the few companies in the world that advertises for users not to use their service. Ironic.
