For many years people in South Africa have been dealing with rolling blackouts. But in recent days the outages have increased to six hours per day, causing unprecedented disruption. The state-owned power company Eskom has blamed the most recent ‘load shedding’ on striking workers. On Tuesday afternoon they reached an agreement with unions that could ease the supply issues, but warned that things could take time to get back to usual. In the meantime, South Africans must live with the disruption and plan their days around power availability. The BBC’s Mo Allie says that the frustration is having an impact on people’s mental wellbeing. #AfricaDaily
