As a South African, this is certainly something I'd root for. However, I think these days bureaucracy and societal factors also need to be accounted for in the feasibility equation. In that regard, renewable energy for SA is still quite a ways away. The government is too busy trying to garner votes and focusing on land appropriation. The state power utility is overstaffed, corrupt, "underfunded" (read: lost way too much money to incompetence and corruption) and the infrastructure is arguably hanging on a thread. Then the recent political scandals with the (hopefully permanently) former president Zuma and his Gupta business overlords come in to play which the country still has to recover from. To top it all off, the majority of the country is simply not educated enough yet to care. The middle class and community leaders can alleviate this however. Overall, it's still a ways off. Especially considering how the more modern Western countries aren't yet very far into renewables themselves.
