Who runs what in Soweto.
Soweto is City of Johannesburg for water, sewer and building plans, but most of it buys electricity straight from Eskom rather than City Power. That matters when the power goes: a fault on the street side is reported to Eskom, while a fault on your side of the meter, in the DB board or the wiring, is ours to find and fix.

Questions
Asked in Soweto.
- Who do I call when the power is out in Soweto?
- If the whole street is out, report it to Eskom, which supplies most of Soweto. If it is only your house, or the DB board keeps tripping, it is on your side of the meter and an electrician has to find the fault.
- Do you cover Protea Glen and Dobsonville?
- Yes, and the rest of Soweto. Send your suburb and the problem and we will tell you straight away.
