Europe-Power Failure

[kilo39]

Power cuts have struck several countries in Western Europe, leaving millions of people without electricity.
Power companies said the outage started in Germany with a surge in demand prompted by cold weather, and then spread to other parts of Europe.

Some five million people in France lost power, mainly in the east of the country and including parts of Paris.

There are many reasons to be proudly South African. I'm just not sure that being able to say that we're as good as another country/ continant in terms of how bad they are, is grounds or wise!
