I'm sorry but I don't agree. You cannot blame something that happened 30 years ago for something that got incredibly worse from 2016 to 2022.
Maintaining you electrical infrastructure is the bare minimum that a serious government should be able to do.
The problem I suppose is incredible corruption at every level of SA society. This is for sure linked to the Apartheid, but it cannot be used as an excuse today.

It's not just the electricity grid - it's healthcare and everything else. The hospital infrastructure was only built for the tiny white minority, but now everyone must use it. You can't build a healthy country on infrastructure that was made for a small few. This can't be solved quickly.
