Johannesburg - Gauteng education member of the executive council Panyaza Lesufi on Thursday lambasted the community of Katlehong in Ekurhuleni for torching a local primary school during protests against power cuts."People of Katlehong, this is what is left of Katlehong Primary School because the community is protesting against lack of electricity. This is completely unacceptable.
Katlehong residents have been complaining about power cuts in recent years, with some saying on social media that they go without for months. Residents resorted to protests by blocking roads with rocks and burning tyres. According to City of Ekurhuleni spokesman Themba Radebe, the frequent power outages were as a result of illegal connections and tampering with power lines.
"Demand for electricity is much higher during winter as compared to the rest of the year. The high loads registered at our substations can also be attributed to high levels of illegal connections as well as tampering on the electrical network," Radebe told the Sunday Independent newspaper.African News Agency
