Tanzania: no electricity for at least four hours a day

The mainland of Tanzania is currently facing load shedding problems with the result that consumers in the country are now "off power" again for at least 4 hours each day. Reason for the power problem seems to be a lack of maintenance of the power producing machinery, which got broken in several plants at the same time, causing rationing of power for the entire country.
It is only a good couple of weeks ago that power was restored to Zanzibar after the island had been left in the dark for at least three months after an undersea cable broke.
