Civil society organisation the Johannesburg Crisis Alliance (JCA) says the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) has not provided information to residents and businesses about State-owned Eskom’s threatened interruption of electricity supply to the city.
The public still has not been told the full nature of the dispute, CoJ's obligations, the status of negotiations or what is being done to prevent a crisis.
Residents, businesses, property owners, civic organisations, and investors are being asked to absorb the risk of a major electricity dispute without the facts they need to make decisions, it says.
The uncertainty puts service continuity, business planning, investment confidence and household preparedness at risk.
“Public statements by senior government and CoJ leaders had suggested the matter had been resolved.
