I accept, it doesn't make it any easier! But - Gosh! It's tough everywhere! Sometimes when you're in South Africa, it fees like you are the only ones battling. I suppose this video sends one message - The grass isn't greener on the other side!
South Africa is on the cusp of a national grid collapse thanks to years of ineptitude, corruption and cronyism.
