Nationwide power outages shut down basic services across Zambia and Zimbabwe for hours on Saturday and Sunday and South Africa's electricity utility said it would suspend exports to neighboring countries amid mounting anger over power cuts that have wreaked havoc in the continent's economic hub.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=509383&in_page_id=1811"><P>
South Africa's utility company Eskom said Sunday it had stopped supplying electricity to Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia because of the dire shortage at home. Normally about 95 percent is used locally and the rest sold abroad.

"When we don't have enough capacity for domestic use we don't sell electricity. There is no surplus so there are no exports," Eskom spokesman told the South African Press Association.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=509383&in_page_id=1811"><P>
Large parts of the country are suffering blackouts often lasting several hours. Eskom says demand is simply too high for it to keep up with, but there is mounting fury that the power cuts are unpredictable and are causing unnecessary economic losses and personal misery.
