As of today, it has been five days since the substation was damaged—leaving Sky City and surrounding areas without electricity.

Despite our ongoing plight, the City of Ekurhuleni has remained largely silent, offering no tangible updates since their last vague communication on 4 July 2025, where they merely stated that an investigation was underway. Since then, there has been no report, no plan, and no progress.

We cannot continue to sit in darkness and silence.

During our previous march, we made it clear that a dedicated substation for Sky City was critical due to the ongoing strain on the Tsietsi Substation. That warning has now become our lived reality.

We are now facing:

• Financial losses from spoiled groceries.
• Compromised medical needs for residents requiring cold-stored medication.
• Escalating costs for daily meals and takeaways.
• Increased safety risks due to unlit streets and non-functioning security systems.

We can no longer wait. The investigation has cost us 5 days already, and if we don’t act, it could be another 5 before the city takes any meaningful action.
