South Africa, Johannesburg: A spark of hope as Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi promises electricity to residents of Johannesburg’s Soweto township.
Lesufi says some areas in Soweto have been dealing with malfunctioning transformers for some time. This had led to residents sitting in the dark for days more frequently.
Power utility Eskom and the province are carrying out a transformer replacement programme launched last month. Lesufi says they are willing to assist Eskom with providing electricity to the people.
