Manganye believes there is a deliberate sabotage of City Power

Sasabona Manganye, the African National Congress (ANC) Regional Secretary for the City of Johannesburg, has expressed his belief that there is deliberate sabotage targeting City Power. While accompanying Nomvula Mokonyane, the party’s first Deputy Secretary General, during the ANC’s campaign trail, Manganye highlighted the ongoing issues of power failures, dysfunctional traffic lights, and streetlights in parts of the City of Johannesburg.

He emphasized that addressing the service delivery concerns raised by the community of Ivory Park in Midrand is a top priority. Manganye affirmed that the problem is systemic, not due to a lack of planned maintenance, but rather the theft of cables and subsequent fires. He appealed to the Municipal Member of the Commission (MMC) of Education, Industrial and Spatial Development (EISD), City Power, and the utility entity to invest in security measures to secure critical substations that provide power to the community.
