Wed 23rd

This morning we continue painting our mural and add some detail now we have some more colours.
Once again in the afternoon we go to the school in the afternoon to do some more work but this time we are frustrated by the fact there is no power. Apparently this is a common occurance not only in Port st John but the whole of South Africa. The rate of economic growth over the last 10 years has outstripped the supply industry and there is a shortfall in electric output meaning that the supply comapany has to ration consumption and imposes power cuts in a number of locations around the country when demands peak.
