Sections of Kagiso spend five to seven months without electricity
14 October 2021
Note to Editors: Please find the attached soundbite by the DA Mogale City Mayoral candidate, Tyrone Gray.
Sections of Kagiso from Swaneville and Lewisham have been without electricity for at least five to seven months.
This is after Eskom failed to replace, secure, upgrade and capacitate the electrical distribution network. Transformers are overloaded and instead of ensuring adequate infrastructure, Eskom continues to leave residents without power. Please see photos here and here.
Residents were forced to spend the cold winter months with no electricity, unable to put on a heater or even make a simple cup of tea.
