Midvaal residents freeze without electricity

Winter's here, and for most of us that means turning up the heater. But in Midvaal, Gauteng one community has never had electricity.

For generations, Mamello residents have relied on paraffin, gas, and wood fires to cook and to stay warm.

But now, even that seems to be slipping out of reach after the recent fuel price hikes.

All of this is happening just kilometres from a housing project with serviced stands that has sat abandoned for 15 years.

SABC News Reporter Nomvuyo Ntanjana visited Mamello and filed this report.
