Very much so. Those who can afford it are going to go solar and batteries as soon as they can, and those who can't will be exposed to this low level of electrical service until solar and battery cost declines meet them at their socioeconomic level. The resulting system will be more resilient end state, but the process is going to suck to get there.
The average house in South Africa uses 967 kWh of electricity per month. That's roughly a 5kw-6kw system, or 12-15 400W solar panels + inverters. Payback period at current prices is ~6-7 years.
