THE South Durban Community Environmental Alliance (SDCEA) will lead a protest outside the Westville-based Eskom offices on Friday, 28 July.
They will be joined by concerned Durbanites at 9.30am in Menston Road, Westville, in a protest focused on calling for affordable electricity.
“Communities are tired of paying high tariffs while massive bonuses are punted for those Eskom elites who are implicated in corrupt relationships,” said SDCEA communications and media officer, Joanne Groom.
Their protest will also tackle the alleged secret nuclear deals and the country’s commitment to the Paris Accord, which means less investment in coal and more in renewable energy sources in a bid to tackle climate change.

“Wherever you go to pay your electricity there are queues of pensioners and state grantees waiting to pay the high electricity cost. These are the ones who are in tears and don’t get any sympathy from a state which has grown extremely fat and forgotten the poverty around it.”
