How will Eskom ever recover Soweto’s R17bn debt?

Johannebsurg - Experts suggest solving the historical, political and economic causes as key to finding a lasting solution. The country’s biggest township debt has been identified as one of the municipalities’ major contributors to the power utility’s R420bn debt.

"People need to be galvanised in a proper way that they need to pay and that must be done by talking to them, and not threatening them. How much is Brian Molefe , his board, the Guptas and former public enterprises minister Lynne Brown owing Eskom if Soweto is owing R17bn? How are they going pay back the money?” asked Mazibuko.“Politically it has a muscle which other townships do not have, and some people are aware of that and they take advantage of it,” said Fikeni.

Meanwhile, SA National Civic Organisation Gauteng chairperson Chris Malematja said a suspense account should be created for residents to settle the amount. In the same breath, SA Local Government Agency executive director for municipal infrastructure and services Jean de la Harpe said Salga was working with the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs and National Treasury to address this problem.
