From both sides, here is the Kapichira hydroelectric power station. David Livingstone tried to get up the waterfalls in his boat (before the dam, when there was water!) and failed the first time but went around it a few years later.
Now the River Shire (pronounced Shirree) is the source of 98% of Malawian electricity and this is one of three power plants on it. Only 12% of the country are connected and even those of us who are, have a rota of 8h of power followed by 24h of nothing.
So why, at work, does no-one switch off the lights when they leave the room??!!
