Summary
"Beginning in the 1960s, the security of electricity supply has shaped South Africa's economic growth and prosperity, and electricity shortages have negatively inflected the rise of its postapartheid democracy. Construction delays and escalating costs have thwarted the nation's mining, manufacturing, and power generation"-- Provided by publisher.
