# Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero urges Electricity and Energy minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa to prevent a potential power blackout in Johannesburg linked to the city’s growing debt to Eskom. Morero warns that diligent ratepayers could be affected if electricity supply is disrupted due to unpaid municipal arrears estimated at 5.2-billion-rand. He says the appeal comes amid rising concern over municipal debt. He calls for urgent intervention to protect residents, businesses and essential services from widespread electricity disruptions in the city.
