South Africa's capital racks up R635 million Eskom bill — why it hasn't paid

Eskom's claim that the City of Tshwane owes the power utility R635 million is "somewhat disingenuous", according to the city's chief of staff, Jordan Griffiths.

"The nature of Eskom's communication with the city was somewhat disingenuous because the city's bill with Eskom is R635 million, and that is the current account," he told eNCA.

For once we have something that is not just a matter of opinion - it is audited facts. Figures can be seen by everyone at https://municipalmoney.gov.za/profiles/municipality-TSH-city-of-tshwane/ (for any municipality).
And I assume it isn't just the financials. The claims of him not attending meetings or the DA not having the meetings can be backed up by the recorded minutes of the meetings. Those minutes might not be publicly accessible, but I assume they exist within the municipality.

No need to cut the electricity supply. They do that all by themselves by blowing up substations.
At this point I dont know if it is really bad incompetence or sabotage since the ANC sounds real salty if these statements are anything to go by…

“This is no secret. The City of Tshwane has been struggling to recoup its finances since it was left with a R4 billion deficit over a year and a half ago by the [unlawfully deployed] ANC administrator.”
It just rains money in SA for some :D

Blaming the previous administration is now also the go to for the DA, how the mighty have fallen...
Well if you inherit a ****ed up city its best to point out that the idiots who ran it ****ed it up. But ANC voters are suckers for punishment.
