@CityPowerJhb Ironic how you post this, considering you have no idea how to keep the lights on.

TSHEDZA 28th Edition | 10 April 2026 Welcome to the 28th edition of TSHEDZA, meaning light in TshiVenda. This week, we go beyond the headlines to show you what it really takes to keep Johannesburg powered, protected, and connected. From restoring power after major outages to strengthening critical infrastructure, our teams are constantly working behind the scenes to keep the city running. At the same time, we continue to confront the challenges that threaten the grid, from cable theft to illegal connections. In this edition, we cover: •The response and recovery following the Roodepoort outage •How the Westfield Substation upgrade is securing power for healthcare facilities •The ongoing impact of cable theft across Johannesburg •Illegal connections uncovered in Athol complexes Every story is a reminder that powering Johannesburg is a shared responsibility. Stay informed, stay engaged, and share your feedback at tshedza@citypower.co.za as we continue to light the way forward – safely and sustainably.

🚱 Mayor Morero has failed to present a clear plan to ringfence funds for water supply, showing he is not serious about tackling Joburg’s worsening water crisis. Residents deserve better. #DryTapsDryPromises #StrongInfrastructureStrongGauteng #NoDryTapsJoburg

For every tale of decline and collapse in Johannesburg, there is an equal and opposite force of rebuilding and renewal by dedicated residents.  All they need is a local government to get behind them, and get things done! That’s what the #BelieveInJoburg campaign is about.
