Coal provides 80 percent of South Africa's power and the country is among the world's top 12 largest greenhouse gas emitters. Coal is also a bedrock of its economy, employing around 90,000 people.

SA is fucked for a variety of reasons, but shitty power management is definitely one of the main ones.
