Court Blocks Small South African Town From Using Alternate Power Source
- By Jan Bornman
The small town of Frankfort, South Africa, will face renewed power outages after a court ruled against the town’s use of an independent solar electricity producer instead of the national utility, Eskom. Eskom has struggled to keep the lights on across South Africa but threatened to cut off all power to Frankfort when the town sought alternative arrangements. Jan Bornman reports from Frankfort.
