Bulbs Pieterson and the children of Darkness

We are lucky in South Africa, in that we have very colourful names.
We also live in a colourful society that, among other things, has electricity generation constraints. Any problem offers exiting new possibilities...

I was sent this list today:


South African names after 9 months due to Eskom's "load shedding":

1. Candle Mabuya
2. Darkness Ngozi
3. Eskom Shabalala
4. Vroegslaap van der Merwe
5. Blackout Legodi
6. Battery Ndlovu
7. Generator Mothabela
8. Loadshedding Masibuko
9. Ugezi Phindanghene
10. Switch-off Mkhwanasi
11. Geyser Baloyi
12. Capacity Mahapa
13. Traffic-light Mdlalose
14. Megawatt Nxumalo
15. Power-cut Nhlapo
16. Gas-turbine Khaba
17. Solar Buthelezi
18. Rationing Mlaba
19. U.P.S Van Wyk
20. Bulbs Pieterson
21. Bright Brown
22. Dim du Preez

It is vital to note that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Eskom has however informed us that this light has also been turned off.

Casting light on SA

How many South Africans does it take to change a light bulb?

Ok, that's a nasty joke.
