Electricity rationing hits South Africa’s capital

South Africa's capital, Tshwane, is facing electricity rationing as a result of a transformer capacity shortage. The City of Tshwane's energy unit has been forced to implement load reductions to avoid overloading the existing capacity, resulting in a rationed electricity supply. The shortage, attributed to a lack of funding, raises concerns about the reliability of the network, particularly during peak winter demand periods, and has sparked regulatory scrutiny.
