Stephen's work in South Africa

Whilst Paulie hosted guests, Stephen delivered 7 sessions over 4 days to Jo'burg universities. Challenges such as network outages (a power cable was stolen at a sub-station during his first gig), power load sharing, and high crime didn't really impress Stephen. His Soweto visit was interesting. This video gives an idea of challenges for folks in the worse bits.
