WATCH: Diepkloof residents lash out after three months without electricity via TheCitizen_News
Angry Diepkloof residents say they’ve been forced to endure the past three months with no electricity.
Local councillor Patrick Magalefa said: “The situation in zone 5 started in April. We communicated with the residents, we went to Eskom, and they promised to come. At a later stage, Eskom wanted us to fill out forms and the community did it, but now Eskom is failing to respond on the needs of the community.”
The anonymous resident said: “There is this other guy called Brian at Eskom. He is responsible for switching our electricity on and off. When we recall, according to Covid-19 laws everyone should have electricity. Brian in our block, block 44, he doesn’t want to switch the electricity on, because there is a neighbouring school that did illegal connections.’’
