Township dwellers in South Africa are fighting for basic services, such as water and electricity. On 9 June, Soweto residents marched to the home of the Mayor of Greater Johannesburg, Amos Masondo. Their organisation, Soweto Electricity Crisis Committee (SECC), led by Trevor Ngwame, had been set up several weeks before. SECC reports that twenty thousand more houses are being disconnected from electricity in Soweto every month.
