Cape Town Power Outage: Thursday (3 Mar) Evening Prognosis

The latest word from Eskom – the company that supplies electricity to all of South Africa, including Cape Town (or perhaps that should be, “except Cape Town”) – is that the city will only be able to count on uninterrupted power next Monday, and not tommorrow at noon, as originally prognosticated. (Eskom’s people don’t predict, they prognosticate.) Thus – prepare for continued rolling blackouts.
