Cape Town experienced a widespread power outage caused by theft and vandalism of Eskom’s infrastructure, resulting in delays in restoration efforts. The city’s allocation of electricity is governed by national legislation, making it challenging to solve the issue. The blackout originated from unplanned faults, leaving residents without power for over 80 hours and prompting local protests. Despite the power cut, life in Cape Town continues to thrive, with extraordinary car deals and a dynamic spirit prevalent.
