Two weeks in the dark: DA takes Tshwane power woes to NERSA

After residents and businesses in East Lynne were left without electricity for two weeks, the DA says enough is enough. The party is preparing a formal complaint to energy regulator NERSA, accusing the City of Tshwane of failing to meet its licence conditions to provide a reliable power supply. DA mayoral candidate Cilliers Brink warns the city’s electricity grid is under serious strain and says urgent intervention is needed to protect consumers. Phemelo speaks to DA Tshwane’s spokesperson on electricity, Themba Fosi, about the complaint, the ongoing outages and what accountability could look like.
