Are we in the Jungle?

It has felt a bit like we are staying in the jungle this week.

Smithfield has been a bit crazy this week. We now have scheduled times of no electricity. The power company in South Africa is not able to provide all the electricity needed. So each town or city has to have certain times without electricity. It is as a result of not enough skilled workers and managers. This week we also did not have water during the day, cause they are busy trying to repair the pipes, but no one bothered to tell us why we weren't having water. Then on top of it all, we were unable to get on the internet Mon - Wed. There was a problem with that company. In South Africa those companies are monopolies so there is no competition to keep the service good.
