'The situation is becoming unbearable': criminals dump bodies in Cape Town suburb beset by power outages: Residents of a suburb 40km outside Cape Town plagued by repeated power outages on top of load-shedding are not only “gatvol” with Eskom but fear…

"I write to you from one of the darkest places in South Africa," a ward councillor wrote in a plea for help to president Cyril Ramaphosa. Stock photo.

The area is supplied directly by Eskom and thus not shielded from one or two stages of load-shedding as is the case with those supplied directly by the City of Cape Town, which uses a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station to mitigate the impact.“Two individuals, who are suspected to have been murdered, were found deceased in Macassar in the space of two days,” he said on Thursday.The body of a woman in her 30s was found floating in shallow water at Macassar beach on May 27.
