Some of the demands made to Eskom include, restoration of power to all affected areas, an increase in the amount of free basic electricity, a R150 flat rate per household for electricity and clearing of all existing debt...
To an acutely attentive crowd, Kamani said both organisations would give Eskom 21 working days to respond to their demands, failing which “we will return and continue with our action until you respond".
“This is where issues of Eskom should be addressed. I have been informed that the ANC got here [to the Eskom offices in Diepkloof] before us, the residents of Nomzamo.” On the first day of the #SowetoShutdown on Tuesday, Khumalo invited angry residents to join councillors who had promised to march to the Eskom offices on Wednesday.
“The people speaking here today are people who complain about load shedding, about not having electricity for a few hours. [Having electricity is] a luxury for our community members. We have not had electricity for more than eight months,”she told City Press.
