Power crisis bad for business in Palapye

“We are also affected. We thought you in the city are better off. They just cut and do not even notify us about the power cuts.We run a sensitive service here of keeping corpses and we have to take care of them by making sure that the mortuary refrigeration is always working.  We have bought a backup generator and now we are battling with high diesel costs.  My children were returned from school because of power and this will adversely affect their academic work. All we hear from some of the workers who live in Palapye is that now the Germans have taken over from the Chinese.” – Keitumetse Bome from Modiba Funerals
