The call from the party came in the form of a march to the power utility’s headquarters at Megawatt Park in Sandton.

The ANC Caucus handed over a memorandum of demands to Eskom, with the power utility vowing to respond within seven days.

#BlackPrivilege, university students do not really want to learn, but rather create unrest and make campuses ungovernable – Walter Sisulu University campus closed after chaos broke out
