South Africa is experiencing rolling blackouts at the moment -- said to be scheduled blackouts or "load shedding". I took this photo in a local supermarket, which has backup. I asked the manager whether it was working. The blackouts had become too long now, she said, and her backup was (at the time of this photo) faltering. I asked an automotive business next door. He said his backup system had blown out. He showed me the apparatus on the wall.
OBSERVATION: These were partial backup systems, just to keep some vital functions going.
