Caught in a R6.3 billion battle
Eskom's threat to cut off Joburg's power for incurring R4.9 billion in debt and running up a R1.4 billion current account highlights the city's maladministration, with its citizens and small businesses caught in the crossfire.
This is according to the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse's (Outa) executive director and advocate, Stephanie Fick, who spoke to 702 following Eskom's statement that there will be power cuts if Joburg fails to settle its debt.
