"Ruined" might be too strong a word in this case.

Not really. Planning around this stuff ruins basically any person or businesses performance in respect to their actual services.

And that’s putting it lightly since people who couldn’t afford backup systems where simply just left in the dark.

“Ruined” is the most underwhelming phrase I would use.

Even those who can afford it had to give up something. A new car, holiday, investment towards retirement etc. Having to replace a service that should be guaranteed is going to ruin something.

Highly doubt it, most people have a backup system by now.
For me, "most" would indicate more than half of the target group, which in this case would be households. According to the latest statistics there are approximately 18 million households in South Africa and I SERIOUSLY doubt if more that 9 million households have a backup system in place. I would almost venture that less than 10% of households have a backup system in place.

Most households have some kind of backup, it doesn't have to be a inverter and battery. A small gas stove would be a backup.

Communists.. you were warned against them but they grafted themselves to the ANC - a willing host - and, tadaa..! just look

In 15 years none of them could scrape enough braincells together to solve this.

It's just logistics, using our tax money to the benefit of our people, but ANC leaders think everything belongs to them.

And they think everyone is as thick as their voter base...

You forgot hands are tied, inherited legacy issues and doing more maintenance...
