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.

We will take over and lead It is not just the ANC, many other as well who are not ANC members. Who then will make the arrest... There is simply no one capable of making that arrest even if it is to arrest a quarter of the ANC. Without it then we are well on our way to being country where corruption is ok.

Don’t raise taxes, get the money back from corrupt ANC leadersIt would be unfair to increase taxes for ordinary citizens in the budget to plug financial holes in the fiscus caused by ANC government corruption, mismanagement and incompetent public servants. Your votes or lack thereof have spoken. . . The New Dawn is a charity drive with no economic empowerment beyond a few tokens. . . They've celebrated welfare grants & NHI, please dont think this is any different. Congrats tito_mboweni PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa

Soweto electricity shutdown fails to sparkThe organisers of the Soweto mass shutdown say they will try other ways of getting the attention of power utility Eskom following the failure of their planned shutdown. Engage in what? Let them simply pay like the rest of us!!! The only engagement Eksdom needs to do with the freeloaders is to establish how they are going to pay their outstanding electricity accounts. These people who demand don't deserve to get any electricity. The tarrif to them should be doubled until the outstanding R20bil is paid What makes them so special they must pay electricity like everyone finish
