Goodness gracious ...

South Africa as a whole also needs a culture shift, he said, and start establishing a culture of paying for services. This was in reference to the R57 billion plus owed to the utility by municipalities that simply do not pay for the power they use.

It is a culture thing, they right about that.

Our domestic used to tell us the township leaders (more like mafia) would say if Eskom comes around to check for illegal connections you must beat the workers with sticks and metal poles. Paid electricity is a white mans thing, we will not support it. She's lived years where she is and she gets electricity by paying some dodgy guy who comes around collecting R50 for "unlimited" power.

They're also told to report any residents who report illegal connections to Eskom so they can be attacked too.
