What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Eskom failed to install electricity in Mboyi in the Eastern Cape. Separately, reports indicate that 200 houses intended for 2019 storm victims in the Eastern Cape have not been completed. The Eastern Cape Department of Human Settlements fired the contractor for poor performance, though the contractor claims the department has not paid it for a year.
