Mjuza Park residents in Gugulethu stopped My Citi work construction on Friday morning following four days without electricity.
According
to a resident, My Citi contractors cut off water before and this week, it was
power.

Monday without power. They cut water and power. Now its been a week and they
don’t care” said a resident
In response to this, residents
gathered to stop every construction work.
“I no longer cook I have a
disabled child, we can’t cook nor charge life has stopped”.
Residents say the
contractors were accompanied by gunmen to protect them from residents. This was
allegedly done to make sure that the protest was a peaceful one.

a few hours later power was restored. Does this mean protest is the only
language power understands ?
