South Africa is currently facing a power crisis.
Because of this, they have rolling blackouts all over the city.
The night before we went up to the top of Table Mountain, the power went out and people were stranded IN THE CABLE CAR for hours and hours. 500 people were stuck at the top. FORTUNATELY, we went the next night and everything was fine. My logic: if it was broken yesterday, they will fix it to ENSURE that it won't be broken today. It worked with this, but I'm not going to push my luck.
The power problem is a big issue for the World Cup in 2010 - people are afraid they will lose the bid because they don't have reliable infastructure. Eek.
