Residents in Tembisa on the East Rand have urged that Eskom remove the Ekurhuleni Metro Municipality as the provider of electricity in the township.

Irate community members shut down Tembisa from the early hours of Wednesday morning, protesting against the blackouts in the area and want the Metro to eradicate exorbitant rates.

Tembisa Community Forum’s Xolani Mnisi says, “We wrote a memorandum in March 2022, which was received by one of the MMC’s of Ekurhuleni. Our main concern was the rates in which Tembisa is billed very high in all the Ekurhuleni townships. Since March our grievances have not been attended to.” EMPD spokesperson, Kelebogile Thepa says, “What’s for us to do now will be to ensure that we monitor the area and also to allow for traffic to flow. It is a bit of a challenge because once you clear the road there are those who are left behind, they start to block it all over again.”
