South Africa power crisis: The human cost of coal-fired power stations

In South Africa, rolling blackouts known as "load-shedding" have been leaving large swathes of the population in the dark.

The BBC's Nomsa Maseko has been to that province – Mpumalanga – to find out more and meet some of those affected.
