scotty Posted February 26, 2020 Share Eskoms Soweto debt had been wiped out twice already, each time with a "stern" statement that it cannot continue. Now demands for a third time. In 1992 residents of Soweto owed Eskom 100 million, despite this having been written off twice since then, today resident of Soweto owe 17 billion, good luck in getting a 10th of that back. https://www.iol.co.za/the-star/news/joburg-mayor-geoff-makhubo-joins-soweto-electricity-protest-43514320 Future's so bright I got to wear shades. sawystertrance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus Posted February 26, 2020 Share Out of interest, does anyone in Soweto pay anything for electricity? Is the debt because of everyone or because of some of the residents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted February 27, 2020 Share Out of interest, does anyone in Soweto pay anything for electricity? Is the debt because of everyone or because of some of the residents? I think there are some paying, it causes problems with cutting power as you can't cut say a street if there are residents in that street that are paying.

Ascension Posted February 27, 2020 Share Out of interest, does anyone in Soweto pay anything for electricity?

Ascension Posted February 27, 2020 Share So much in-fighting in the ANC, they protest against themselves.......There are definitely smoke and mirrors at play here. You see, the Sowetans are calling for that its unfair and that they want to be treated the same as other communities. What they are not saying is that they want to be treated the same as other communities that don't pay. It has happened numerous times, protests because of the threat of disconnection because of non-payment. In every case the protestors got their way. There are many townships that pay nothing, and the Sowetans are only doing what has worked in the past to get it free.

Ascension Posted February 27, 2020 Share This is a result of unfeasible ANC promises. We all should be protesting because Pravin stated that we are paying 4x more than what we should because of corruption at Eskom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted February 27, 2020 Share When the governments own departments do not pay and are in arrears, small wonder than in the street follows. CAPE TOWN – Following the suspension of trains in the Western Cape on Thursday afternoon due to non-payment to Eskom, the power utility has now confirmed receiving payment from the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) with power restored. https://ewn.co.za/2020/02/27/wc-metrorail-service-restored-after-prasa-pays-eskom-bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My logic tells me if it's in arrears in the WC, it will be in arrears in all the provinces. Or am I being retarded with this train of thought?
