When Energy Crises Leave Us in the Dark, But Life Has to Go On

Power interruptions, both scheduled and unexpected, appear to be business as usual in certain African countries, including Liberia, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. For South Africans, this is the new normal. People develop workarounds as power cuts affect their personal and working lives. 

The same goes for Zimbabwe. We've been told that our daily power outages are because there is not enough water in the Kariba dam to operate the country's primary hydropower plant.

At allAfrica.com, we haven't been spared.
