notes: On 6 July 2020, community members marched to the office of the mayor in Graskop (Ehlanzeni, Mpumalanga) to hand over a memorandum relating to electricity issues in the area. The demonstrators demanded the immediate cancellation of the fixed levy, the refund of all levies charged and paid, the implementation of a direct supply from Eskom and payments to be made directly to the power utility, and for the scrapping of tenders awarded to out-of-ward contractors.
