South Africa s Cabinet has approved a bill aimed at liberalizing the country s electricity market, in a move that would pave the way for private generation projects and power trading in the country amid a historic power crisis.
Already struggling without electricity for hours a day, many South Africans are now having to do also without water, as power outages batter the supply system.
The power crisis that has struck South Africa can leave citizens and businesses deprived of electricity for hours at a time but few victims are more vulnerable than undertakers.
