The Economist writes:
It is certainly true that growth in Africa has been, and will be, constrained by infrastructural bottlenecks—as is apparent from the power-supply problems that have bedevilled growth in Nigeria and parts of East Africa for years, while recently emerging as a serious obstacle to recovery and expansion in Southern Africa. However, far from being the consequence of inadequate funding, these are the result of weak political commitment, poor (or non-existent) planning and the conviction that a foreign donor or lender will come to the rescue. Thus politicians in South Africa and Zambia were well aware that there would be a power problem from 2007 onwards, but they failed to act until it was too late. This problem is replicated throughout Africa, where inadequacies are apparent not in hardware so much as "software" such as skills, technology and above all good governance.
