      Brownouts are not the same as shutting down the grid mate.

      SA has rolling brownouts because the grid cannot handle the demand. My example is that the whole grid shuts down. No country has ever done this.

      I think you missed the point the other person was trying to make. They mean shut off all electrical grids. I don’t think South Africa has that power.
