In conversation with Electricity Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa

As South Africa heads into the high-demand winter season, concerns are growing over municipalities owing Eskom billions of rands for bulk electricity supply.
The City of Johannesburg alone is said to owe approximately R5.2 billion, with Eskom warning it could interrupt power to areas including the CBD, Midrand and Cresta if payment is not made.

This raises serious questions about the financial health of municipalities and the impact on the national grid, especially considering the fact that other municipalities face similar challenges.

Minister of Electricity and Energy Doctor Kgosientsho Ramokgopa joins us on our video link.
