Eskom employees, its management in particular, only look after themselves - don't care about the plight i.e. unemployed and poor who don't have income.

They don't pay mos.

A headline should be Diepkloof residents in Soweto,continue to protest over power cuts,but I don't think its all of them who are not paying and Eskom must cut power for households who are not paying not what they're currently doing by cutting power for everyone.

As long as government is building RDP houses for ppl who are unemployed illegal electric connections cannot be curb/avoided.I don't blame them but ANC for stupid strategy to get votes. Is there a country we're unemployed ppl are getting houses. UK& America giving unemployed grant

So long they dont want to pay for electricity, they can protest even on Christmas day but the utility must be firm otherwise this will set a bad precedent.

Eskom provokes the black-classified people of Diepsloot.

Sowetans... Destroy all electrical infrastructure, destroy everything.

Instead of them collecting R1000 per house and beg Eskom to can listen to them how will they start servicing their billions debt and Eskom was going to feel for them and switch on inthe meantime

Arg fok, they don't want metered box, they don't want to pay electricity Police must arrest them

Typical, destroy your own suburb. How utterly stupid.

Keep voting for ANC.

No pay. No power

You pay, you get electricity. High time this situation was dealt with

Dumb government ANCParliament cant provide basics, power cuts and the utility is more

I blame ANC for empty promises.

Leeches, so we must pay for electricity and the infrastructure they're vandalising

Any any civilised country if you want electricity you have to pay for it! Simple!

What do you expect? Vote for the party that brought us all of this and it will never stop.

Power cuts due to payments not made

Izindlu zamahhala, ugesi wanahhala, amanzi amahhala.....kanti abanye bethu bavukelani ukuyosebenza vele

Idiots

Some people are beyond stupid... like just pay for electricity like every other South African

Tgey must continue we don't care. No pay no lights.

Pay like every other south african.

There is no power, what is being cut then?

Let them protest,you pay you receive. Part om democracy! I have to pay,so do they. Freebies are pushing our country to the verge of collapse
