Secondly old PowerStation’s are being upgraded but it is a slow process as it cost billions to do. I can point you to one if you are interested.

I happen to be doing my second trade and I noticed that not one student used a tablet for a handbook. Nope they had photocopies of the handbook in question or the actual thing... Most of them where second hand but usable. But don’t take my word for it. Go and have a look for yourself.

So yes reality bites...

In my opinion an e-book is handy but it will never be able to replace the real thing as the real thing is just as handy.

I also see in your sarcasm that you pointed out that SA is the highest consumer of mobile phones for its population. Ask yourself why that is? The fact that it remains a portable device may have something to do with that statistic. The second fact is that it can operate for a while without being plugged in... Jip that is also FACT!

So is the power thing a real problem for us? The answer is twofold actually both yes and no. Yes but there are solar charging stations where people will charge your device for R5. And those who have power also ask about R5 a charge.

Oh and another fact “Not every household have power”
