Eskom denies Joburg ANC claim that city will take over power supply

Eskom has refuted a statement issued by the African National Congress’s (ANC’s) Greater Johannesburg Region branch over an apparent power-purchase agreement between the city and the state-owned power utility. In Friday’s statement, the ANC said Mayor Mpho Moerane had signed an agreement that will allow the city to take over power supply to areas such as Soweto, Orange Farm and Ivory Park.
