    Solution

    Ā  South African President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national "state of disaster" over country's crippling power shortages. The power cuts are expected to reduce economic growth in Africa's most industrialised nation to just 0.3% this year. Declaring a national state of disaster gives the government additional powers to respond to a crisis, including by permitting emergency procurement procedures with fewer bureaucratic delays and less oversight.
