South Africa: Load shedding possible during 2010 World Cup

Eskom, South Africa's electricity public utility, just told the media that the company expects to be under pressure during the 2010 World Cup in the country. According to Fin24.co.za the state-owned utility "will regularly update South Africans on supply during the tournament, which starts June 11, and ask them to turn off some appliances if power runs low".
Under worst circumstances Eskom will ask South Africans to turn off everything but one TV and one light. No joke! That's what Fin24.co.za is reporting on their website!
