Parts of the country will be in darkness at 8:30pm tomorrow to raise awareness about climate change.
The lights out forms part of Earth Hour, a global campaign by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
Millions are expected to switch off their light for an hour in their time zones, causing a “Mexican wave” of darkness.
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu heads the South African campaign.
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2 million Australians switched off their lights for an hour. A year later, 50 million people took part in the campaign.
