Those of us that complained about load shedding from Eskom, had obviously never lived in Tanzania....Tanesco (Tanzania electricty Supply Company), announced the increase of power rationing to 12 hours a day....I am sure it past that milestone a while ago.
The bulk of Tanzania is supplied by Hydo electricty. Thus, due to severe droughts the water levels at the main power dam have been very low, putting a lot of pressure on electricity supply....and hot showers in Wisteria lane (more about that another time). There is a generator, but it is not particularly inclined to functioning when anything with an element is turned on and likes to take hourly breaks, for half an hour to cool down.
In light of this it is important to wake up very early, or take a shower whenever the electricity is on, as it may be the last hot shower for a few days.
