In a bold and united stand, residents of Tembisa have shut down all entry and exit points, protesting the City of Ekurhuleni’s newly approved fixed electricity tariffs for 2025/2026. Furious over the steep rates set to burden their already stretched budgets, the community demands the city reverse the decision before it takes effect.

This dramatic shutdown sends a clear message: everyday people are unwilling to bear the cost of rising utility expenses without a fight.
