# The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse has welcomed Eskom’s decision to stop its process to cut electricity to parts of Johannesburg after the city settled five-billion-rand in overdue debt. OUTA says the immediate threat of power cuts has been removed, but questions remain about how the debt was paid and whether the solution will last. The organisation’s Julius Kleynhans calls for better financial management and stronger oversight to prevent Johannesburg from falling into another electricity debt crisis.
