Soweto residents question Eskom debt

They marched to Eskom offices from Orlando West to Diepkloof.They want to pay Eskom R150 a month for electricity.The residents are also demanding the power utility scrap their R18-billion debt.

“The memorandum says they want us to respond within 21 days and that’s what we do," said Daphney Mokoena, Eskom's Gauteng Customer Services Senior Manager. "We will have to look at it and respond to all the concerns. We will have to, as a team, look at the memorandum and respond in due course. It’s a difficult question to wipe off the debt. But let’s see what the response is.”

It’s pathetic. They want free everything and don’t want to work. Or want to work, but want a cushy job in some SOE, so they can also hustle on the side. Some serious mind change required here.

This is a misleading headline as the residents aren’t questioning but instead wanting their debt wiped.
