Workers from the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality clear debris and shrubs around a collapsed pylon in Pretoria on April 12, 2023. - Parts of the South African capital of Pretoria plunged into the dark as at least 7 looted high-voltage power pylons collapsed on a highway on April 10, 2023, exacerbating the country energy supply crisis.
