Eskom says it is in the process of reconnecting power to a Khayelitsha family living without electricity for more than five months.

The Public Protector found the power utility had wrongfully disconnected the Khumalo home in February.

Last week, Shorn Khumalo told reporters their power was still disconnected, two weeks after the Public Protector’s report was released.

But Eskom's Khulu Phasiwe says they have tried to help the family.

Phasiwe says they are still awaiting the final report from the Public Protector.
