Residents were also protesting over other service delivery issues in the area. A large police contingent was deployed to the area and the protesters were dispersed.
Nontokolo says residents will march to the offices of Johannesburg Mayor Mpho Phalatse on Tuesday morning to voice their grievances. “In fact, I had a meeting with the acting boss of City Power and requested that City Power once again approach Eskom for another meeting so that we can facilitate any engagements between Eskom and concerned Soweto residents. We hope that the continued knocking on Soweto’s door, Eskom will know the plight of concerned residents.” explains Sun.
they must learn how to pay
It’s not just power cuts. Some streets have no electricity while Eskom is refusing to connect or fix the supplying boxes people are suffering. Grannies are becoming victims by young guys who extort money with a promise to reconnect.
ANC and eskom killed our Orlando power station n didn't replace it with alternative power supply and now they want to blame sowetans corrupt anc n eskom
Closing streets won't bring electricity or burning tyres but that's what the anc taught us as the best means of communication and if this doesn't work one has to loose life . Eskom may not owe soweto anything but the government does.
So why do we close the streets Will this bring solutions?
These ones must just pay for electricity and the outages will stop... They think they are owed something in this country.
