Joburg mayor urges communities to use gas for cooking

[rvZA]

Joburg will soon be cooking on gas.

Newly-elected Mayor Dada Morero says communities must be urged to use gas instead of electricity.

He says this will be cheaper and will reduce the burden on the grid.

"The crisis is not just load-shedding, we also have to understand it's also about capacity, also about the infrastructure," he said.

"Soweto population is growing but the infrastructure remains what you found 10 to 15 years ago, that is why we have this problem of illegal connections which also contribute to transformers exploding or burning out.

"You need to say how do we also reduce the burden on the grid to ensure that the grid is given business and commercial sites.

No, he is not. But getting a proper gas installation done for cooking is expensive. Any shortcuts and you have a deadly setup. Very few people can afford a professional installation. Many do not understand the dangers of making use of gas. People die today in holiday resorts due to gas leakages. People die of gas explosions. Under these circumstances, electricity is still the better solution.

Gas has been used for decades in townships and villages, long before we got electricity, it's really not a new invention.

There's more to Joburg than Soweto.
And it's something the recently ousted coalition was also looking at, we really can do with less drama around this.

I'm bang of gas(even though it would be installed with a coc)

Gas has been used for decades in townships and villages, long before we got electricity, it's really not a new invention.

But properly installed, regulation compliant gas installations in the townships are practically unheard of. Also that decades bit is nonsense. Parafin held sway until about twenty years ago.
