Questions people ask

What do I get when I buy?

An instant download: the 9 page PDF guide, with a fill-in plan and printable checklists at the end.

Do I need the main Power Cut Playbook first?

No. Each guide stands on its own. The main guide is the overview, and this one goes deeper on one topic. Reading both works best.

Is it only for South Africa?

It is written for South Africa: rand, municipalities, load shedding and local emergency numbers. A broader edition will come later.

How do I know the figures are right?

Every figure is tagged Official page, Third party (check), Our arithmetic, General advice or Not confirmed, with the date it was checked (4 November 2026), and the guide ends with a source table. Many figures come from summaries and news reports, and the tags say so.

Is this medical, legal or safety advice?

No. It is general information. Where health, law or safety matters it says what the sources say and tells you who to ask.

Will it be updated?

The plan is a short weekly update on what has changed, and a new edition when figures change. Each edition says its date.

Who wrote it?

Legacy Solutions Architecture, a Cape Town technology advisory firm. It was written with the help of an AI assistant, then checked, edited and published by us.
