It does, in actual fact, generate some hydroelectric power, such at the Gariep Dam. However, hydroelectricity can never play a key part in the creation of power in South Africa. The sole reason is that South Africa is a very dry country, mostly. It has been said that the total downflow of all the South African rivers equals that of only one European river, the Rhine, as it reaches the sea at Rotterdam.

South Africa has very few large rivers that flow through-out the year. Therefore, hydroelectric power stations is not the most suitable solution. South Africa has rich coal deposits and is also a prime candidate for solar electricity.
