Rising electricity prices among the main gripes.

Robert Nene, 69, who lives in Naledi, said most residents in the area struggled to pay for electricity because they are not working.

“They want a lot of money and that’s why people cannot afford to pay.”

Nene was among hundreds of Soweto residents who marched to the mayor’s office to voice their displeasure about the lack of service delivery in the township.
