Emfuleni power crisis deepens: R60 million already spent on substation, yet residents still suffer blackouts. Now a brand-new Neutral Earthing Compensator was allegedly removed on instruction of a municipal employee. DA will open a criminal case. Another R79 million requested? This is pure maladministration. Businesses closing. Jobs lost. Let’s fix Emfuleni on 4 November! #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL #LetsFixEmfuleni @lesufi @kingsoljr Read more: open.substack.com/pub/dagpl/…

They steal the parts. Then sell it back to the City. Then your lights go out. Then you pay for the “repairs.” This is the circuit breaker mafia. Watch the full video to see what the DA will do to deal with this issue!⚡️ #BelieveInJoburg #Zille4Mayor

Tshwane sinks as disaster relief deadline passes residents left waiting. The City of Tshwane has missed critical deadlines to access national disaster relief funding, leaving communities vulnerable after recent floods and infrastructure damage. While residents struggle with damaged homes, roads and services, the ANC-led coalition fails to deliver urgent relief. The DA has consistently called for better disaster management and accountability in Tshwane. Our residents deserve a government that acts swiftly in times of crisis not one that misses deadlines and leaves people behind. #LetsFixTshwane #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL #DisasterManagement @MyLeaderNicole @lesufi @CityTshwane @eNCA Read more and watch Video: enca.com/news-top-stories/ci…
