Hi Paul,

Writing in torch light 4th night in row no light at home after 8pm ESKOM problem!!! good news they say it should be "ok" by 2016!!

All traffic lights have been out etc so trip of 1.5 km to Sandton City can take 30 min.

Perhaps this could be a solution to Europe’s negative population growth rate.

Europe just needs more power outages.

(There is a direct link between placing electricity in areas and the population growth rate).
