Electricity

We are in the process of working out the kinks of living 'in community' in the Track house (not a YWAM base or a church or a hut. . .). We were only here about 2 days when we quickly figured out the electricity system. The thought was that maybe the bill had not been paid, as we were without power. Nope, that's not how it works in South Africa. Here's what you do: you go down to the local grocery store and purchase "power". You take the receipt home and enter the code which then tells you how much power you purchased. The meter (as displayed below) counts down and lets you know when you should go out and buy more. And yes, it is a Siemens product!
