How come people of soweto complain for electricity they don't even pay for it

Eish.

Don't they realise it is Load Shedding not power cuts 🤦🏽‍♂️

All they need do is pay for the service.

There must be third force if you were in Zimbabwe

How laughable. You don't pay and expect to get seeviced with electricity, while other Provinces are not

that is what ANC government want because electricity is a need these days no electricity the life is stopped but their home have electricity really we need a nuetral candidate now not those greedy POLITICIANS they do nothing but stealing from poor.

A bunch of free loaders

Soweto people must start to pay for electricity now

Leave the freeloaders alone. Let them live in the hell they are creating...if they don't clean it up tough luck. Even animals don't behave like this. Poor or not this is not an excuse... Vote your government out if need be

Protesting over something they don't pay for 🤔🤔😅😅😂😂 Only in Mzansi

The I want everything for free brigade...

Electricity they dont even pay for when its available

But they are not paying moes so which electricity do they want?

Being destructive isn't going to put one single Watt into those power lines. South Africans think one can fix things by breaking it. We need better education, also from the pulpits today. CHunsingerMP

Lets see what the new mayor and his newly appointed mmc will do for residents in that area

As citizens in SA, we are hooked to this inconvenient Eskom issue, but us here in Jack Iyland (Lebowakgomo), yesterday the electricity was cut off at 11am to 1pm and again 7pm to 9pm, what worries more is that you could see Zone F&B lights on, we are just a new establishment

And then we expect these non paying Soweteans to start paying for electricity..... it won't ever happen GovernmentZA tito_mboweni ewn eNCA PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa

That's all the Sowetans know, bringing the country to a standstill but paying for this electricity, Dololo. Today we are all suffering because of their debt to ESKOM. Mxm.

No man, don't say 'Soweto' as if every road in Soweto is closed. Please specify. This will also help people to know which areas to avoid going to.

Soweto ✊✊✊ still united as ever don't pay shit Soweto we will also push for other Areas not to pay a service that should be available at a cheap price, just to support the tummys of greedy politicians amandla boycott payments poor people

The same ppl that pay nothing are the first to protest for electricity while I that pay so much money for the electricity am not protesting yet when Eskom does its load-shedding thingy. SowetoPrivilegeMustFall.

🤣

They are voting ANC every elections,they prepared their bed,they must lay on it

That is the price of voting for the bourgeoisie parties, the poorest of the poor need to wake up, and not vote on the basis of how many millions a party has to campaign for votes but on the correctness of an ideology a party possess, not populism.

Are they paying for electricity?

Maybe Ruimsig residents should also do the same been without power for 3 days now.
