HEAT, DUST & POWER CUTS

HEAT, DUST & POWER CUTS: As the late and great Johnny Clegg and Savuka sang in their song titled ‘In My African Dream’, which features on the ‘Heat, Dust & Dreams’ album: ‘Something stole the promise from the light of the dawn’. In the current context, that light has quite literally been stolen. After nearly 15 years, South Africa remains in a deep electricity crisis. Those responsible have mostly left both the utility and government, but that is little consolation. Sadly, heat, dust and power cuts look set to be an ongoing and painful feature of this summer period too. Photograph: Bloomberg
