Johannesburg Crisis Alliance demands Joburg and City Power to disclose facts behind debt dispute

# The Johannesburg Crisis Alliance says the City of Johannesburg has still not provided information about Eskom’s threatened interruption of electricity supply to the metro. The metro and City Power currently owe Eskom an arrear debt of 5.25-billion-rand. Following negotiations between the minister of Electricity and Energy, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, Eskom and City Power, no agreement has been reached. The JCA says the crisis is further compounded by the extremely limited time given to the public to respond to Eskom’s Promotion of Administrative Justice Act notice.
