A fantastic and fantastically mineral rich country that lacks oil but has massive amounts of coal. Unfortunately, it’s management is corrupt, violent and dumb so blackouts have been happening and will continue as the stupidity continues. 
Here’s the fantastic city of Johannesburg with the lights out even though South Africa has enough coal to last over 200 years.
The crisis is the result of: (1) a stupid failure to build new power-generating facilities; (2) an aggressive affirmative action policy that has seen white engineers leave the company; (3) a “cadre deployment” policy that has allowed the ruling party to stack the company with its cronies; (4) an increasingly corrupt business environment, in which contractors have fleeced the company while failing to provide adequate services; and (5) a campaign of sabotage targeting power infrastructure.
