ekurhuleni metro consultation process ends with a whimper

A public consultation to address the contentious Ekurhuleni electricity tariff increase that led to unrest in Tembisa saw less than 30 residents turning up to discuss the issue.

The consultations, which began last month, were prompted by outrage from residents particularly in Tembisa, where protests broke out over what communities described as an unfair and unaffordable new cost added to electricity bills.

Saturday was supposed to be the last leg of the consultations at the Springs civic centre supper hall but the residents who attended said the reason for the low turnout was because a wrong address was given on the invitation.
