DIEPKLOOF - Johannesburg Human Settlements MMC said power will be restored to Diepkloof soon.
After days in the dark, hostel residents took their frustration to the streets.
Officials say the hostel owed Eskom nearly R20-million, which is why the switch was flipped.
Mlungisi Mabaso, Johannesburg Human Settlements MMC, said they were doing their best to ensure power is restored.
“We had not paid Eskom for two months, owing them R20 million. We have been in engagements with Eskom,” Mabaso said.
