Johannesburg mayor, Herman Mashaba, has launched the city’s electrification of the Slovo Park informal settlement in partnership with City Power. He was accompanied by MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Service Delivery Nico de Jager and MMC for Housing Mzobanzi Ntuli.
Previous governments have rejected their requests in the past, but the current multi-party government has managed to deliver on this long outstanding service.
