Residents of Orlando East, Soweto, have accused Eskom of victimising them by cutting off power after technicians were chased away from the area while attending a technical problem.
"We are now being victimised for what happened to those technicians. It is really sad. We don't know who chased the Eskom people away, now we have to stay in the dark," Khumalo said.
Residents told Sowetan that some of the people in the area are paying for electricity while others are not.
