We were honoured to be able to host this symposium with our partners @KAS_SouthAfrica. The energy in the room was electric, and the discussions were just as powerful. Thank you to all who contributed to the discussion both in person and online.

Say what now? @NERSA_ZA - The same regulator that rubber-stamped every @Eskom_SA hike is suddenly shocked by high electricity prices. Make it make senseโฆ https://t.co/I6K424Fgua

South Africaโs energy regulator is launching a market inquiry to investigate fixed electricity charges from Eskom and municipal power providers in South Africa.

One of the great things about the era we are in for our democracy now is that everything is up for scrutiny and as a nation we are learning more about our parliamentary processes and laws. This usually happens when something big triggers discussion but that knowledge stays with
@mbalimcdust Thank you for your explanation Mbali. I wonder if this process is made complicated by design, or whether or can be simplified. Surely simplifying the process would be better for all South Africans?

#StateCaptureInquiry Former Denel CEO, Saloojee testified today how Dan Mantsha as Denel Chair took him to Saxonwold to meet the Guptas and Salim Essa. Mantsha was instrumental in the Denel capture. @OUTASA laid criminal charges in Aug 2017 against Mantsha. Time for action!!

Hey @CityPowerJhb Try working, feeding your family, or getting your kids through school when you havenโt had power for days. The fridge is off, foodโs spoiling, batteries are dead, and weโre running out of options. This isnโt just a power outage. Itโs neglect.

Day 4. No power in #RandparkRidge. 4 hrs of electricity from 1am-4am, then nothing. No answers. No updates. But @CityPowerJhb can blow R335 million on mops, air fresheners, and pens? Weโre paying for their corruption with our lives. https://t.co/fj6c53LRSV

An alleged looting scheme saw R335 million vanish from City Power's maintenance budget for critical infrastructure. This was at a company that receives thousands of blackout-related calls daily...

But 20 hours ago @CityPowerJhb said the test team was on site! Their information is inaccurate and cruel to residents who haven't had power for almost 3 days!! #randparkridge @DadaMorero @HermanMashaba @dailymaverick @TheCitizen_News

No power since 11pm Sunday. Now weโre facing water throttling too? @CityPowerJhb @JHBWater what exactly do we pay you for? Weโre expected to pay on time, but you deliver unreliable services, vague updates & no accountability. Who do we escalate this to? Enough is enough! #Joburg
