The blog I have chosen to critique expands on the Eskom crisis and why the lights keep going out in South Africa. I really appreciate how this author has chosen to write about something that contains personal value to him. He states that he and his parents lived in South Africa for some time. I believe his blog was more substantial because of his South African ties. The author elaborates on the dangers of power outages in South Africa considering that Eskom is one of the biggest power utilities in the world. The author effectively portrayed the message of the article they had read and brought to light the most important issues. The authors blog overall was strong and very well put together. This blog is very easy to follow and stays on track rather than focusing on unimportant details. His commentary was very compelling and spiked my interest upon reading it. I agree very strongly with the author that we need to take more time to look into the problems that other countries may be facing. Here in the United States we sometimes tend to overlook other countries because of how good we have it. The author emphasizes that other countries face serious issues and they should not be taken lightly. The author could have included more specific examples of how business productivity was affected and what effects exactly does the Eskom crisis have on the economy. However, the author constructed this blog very well and chose to write about something that interested them, which I believe to a very well constructed blog.
