South Africa got 450 gasoline generators from China to help with their serious power cuts.
The generators have arrived in South Africa and will be officially received by Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa on Thursday.
The generators will be used as a backup to help reduce the problems caused by load shedding in providing services in clinics, schools and courts, the presidency said on Tuesday.
China and South Africa agreed to help each other during a meeting in Johannesburg. This donation is part of that agreement.
In the agreement, China promised to give emergency equipment worth 167 million rand, which is $8. 9 million or £7 million, and also a development grant of 500 million rand.
In the past few years, South Africa has had a lot of problems with power cuts, which have been really frustrating.
Every day, many people in cities and towns across South Africa don’t have electricity for up to 10 hours.
