Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The DA in Gauteng has submitted a memorandum of demands to Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi, urging him to install the transformers he supposedly promised to residents of Emfuleni Municipality before the elections.<\/p>\n

On Monday, DA leader in Gauteng Solly Msimanga and a group of supporters picketed outside the premier’s office holding placards written \u201cstop lying Lesufi\u201d \u201cwhere are the transformers?\u201d \u201cWe deserve electricity\u201d and \u201cwhy do you lie Lesufi?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to demand transformers for the people of Emfuleni. We are here to expose Lesufi\u2019s lies. We are here because the matriculants in Emfuleni are studying with candles, and we say no to that. We demand electricity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

During his state of the province address in February, Lesufi said they had partnered with Eskom and City Power to deliver 429 transformers. He said 333 transformers had already been installed and switched on in some communities. \u201cWe have impacted the communities of Kagiso, Boiphelong, Doornkop, Orange Farm and others,\u201d he said then.<\/p>\n

“We will intensify this programme until every township and household has been legally switched on, especially Evaton, Ivory Park, Winterveld and many other communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Msimanga said Emfuleni residents are still in the dark. \u201cWe can\u2019t say we\u2019re celebrating 30 years of democracy while there are still children studying by candlelight, when there are people without water, and lack of service delivery yet there’s freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said they were giving Lesufi 25 days to respond to their demands. \u201cWe will not give up this fight until Lesufi takes account and give the people of Emfuleni their power. They must give us a deadline of when they will deliver those transformers. [If they fail] to deliver them, we will come back here in numbers, including other structures, because this matter does not only affect you, but affects us too.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DA will ensure no household spends Christmas in the dark. Lesufi must fulfil his promise.\u201d<\/p>\n
