electricity on/off - 0 views

  •  
    this may make international news for south africa - the "europe of africa" - but it's commonplace in uganda. load-shedding? we don't have it for just a few hours in the afternoon, that would be luxury. no, load-shedding in uganda tends to be on a 24-hour-on-24-off cycle. yes, that means for 24 hours you have electricity, then for the next 24 you don't. there's some elaborate schedule for knowing when load-shedding's going to hit your part of town; sometimes the schedule gets printed in the paper and (almost) always it isn't followed.
