Load shedding

In South Africa we have load shedding where our electricity supplier cuts the electricity for two to four hours a day stating they can't keep up with demand and it saves them. Yet they can supply the rest of Africa at a cheaper rate than what we pay and that's no problem. Doesn't make sense to you? Don't worry, neither to us. Our provider is a government owned entity, there's no private suppliers. We have no choice... 馃し馃う

Can they still provide electricity for electric cars?

@melissa001 they don't care if you need an oxygen machine, and you're biggest concern would be a car? Luckily electric cars aren't that common in Africa. Way too expensive.

@Chant31 no that's not my concern. I figured they would cater to the electric cars since they've become such a big thing. Idk much about Africa so I have no idea if they have them there or not. I was just asking a question.

@melissa001 African currency can not keep up with the rest of the world. Everything is beyond expensive, including electricity itself. At this stage electric cars is only accessible to the rich, and I mean really rich. The majority works for wages as stipulated by the government that can't even cover housing. It's just ridiculous how things work here. Considering Africa has the most ground resources (sorry my first language is Afrikaans) meaning we mine coal, platinum, gold and diamonds. We should be a rich country, but our resources gets sold off and squandered. Few get rich and the rest suffers. That's Africa in a nutshell for you. 馃槈馃榿
