CAPE TOWN - Residents of Wesbank, Eerste River, and Delft in Cape Town are demanding Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa’s intervene in resolving their power supply issues.
They accuse provincial officials of neglecting their communities, saying some households go without power for up to three months.
