Description
Due to loadshedding (planned power cuts) an estimated of 40,000 chicken died of suffocation on a farm in the North West province of South Africa when insufficient voltage resulted in the air conditioning at one of the farm's chicken houses to shut down. "I think there’s gonna be lots of food shortages in South Africa if Eskom, drastically, doesn’t do anything" says the owner of the farm, Herman du Preez. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
