Welverdiend residents to hand over electricity grievance memorandum today
Motorists should expect delays in the Carletonville CBD.
Residents of Welverdiend will hand over a memorandum to the Merafong City Local Municipality today, Tuesday July 29, to demand urgent intervention in their ongoing electricity crisis.
Thousands of residents have been without power for almost five weeks due to technical issues at the Frikkie van der Merwe substation.
The protest is expected to cause traffic congestion in the Carletonville CBD, especially around Halite Street, where the municipal offices are located. The official handover is scheduled for 11:30, but protestors are expected to arrive earlier.
Shoppers and motorists are advised to plan accordingly.
