Eskom evacuates staff who hid in locked Ga-Rankuwa offices to escape angry residents

Power utility Eskom safely evacuated its employees that it claimed were being held against their will by angry residents of Morula View in Mabopane, north of Pretoria, over the lack of power supply in the area. According to Eskom, the hostage situation followed the community’s demand for the replacement of a mini-substation in their area.
