South Africa’s electricity shortages have become increasingly acute, and now her neighbors are scrambling, with mixed results, to fill the void left by Eskom’s decision to pull the plug on power delivery across South Africa’s borders As a result, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana have all reported power failures, as each of those countries relies heavily on the electricity they import from Eskom, which made its decision largely because it has had difficulty even keeping the lights on in South Africa.
