South Africa is on the verge of “collapse” amid rolling blackouts and warnings a total power grid failure could lead to mass rioting on the scale of a “civil war”. Western embassies including the United States and Australia have advised their citizens in the country to stock up on “several days worth” of food and water and be on high alert during extended blackouts sweeping the country.
South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national “state of disaster” on February 9 in response to the record electricity shortage, which has seen state-owned power company Eskom institute rolling blackouts – dubbed “load shedding” – lasting up to 12 hours in some cases.

South Africa used to be an innovator in nuclear power plant technology.
Now they can’t keep the lights on.

I've traveled Africa fairly extensively...including South Africa.That surely doesn't make me an expert but SA’s collapse was predictable to me from the day that Mandella took power.

I knew an MD from South Africa many years ago. He came here to pursue another MD degree in Cardiovascular surgery at the University of New Mexico medical school. He went back home to Johannesburg after graduating in 1992. I lost touch with him several years ago. Whenever I think about South Africa, I wonder if he’s still alive.

I love this thread.
I’m not happy that I was going to post your post, but you beat me to it.
Now I’m going to go and come up with a snarky Die Antwoort meme.
I hope no one beats me to it.
