Johannesburg市长已向居民保证，该市不会面临停电。然而，Eskom旨在切断该市电力供应的法定程序仍在进行中，双方至今尚未公开任何已签署的协议。\n\n这一矛盾正是困扰这座南非最大城市的52亿兰特（R5.2-billion）债务危机的核心所在。\n\n今年5月，电力部长Kgosientsho Ramokgopa与Johannesburg市长Dada Morero曾共同宣布，双方已就该市拖欠Eskom的巨额债务达成了解决方案。\n\n然而，Eskom并未暂停依据《Promotion of Administrative Justice Act》启动的程序，这是该电力公司在切断对地方市政供电前必须履行的法定程序。Eskom指出，此举是因为该市未能履行先前的还款协议。\n\n目前，双方尚未公布任何已签署的妥协协议，也未确定具体的公开日期。\n\n针对这一现状，Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse（OUTA）联合多家商会及居民协会，已向该市政府递交了法律文书。他们要求政府提供存在具约束力协议的证据，并表示如果市政府无法出示，他们将诉诸法庭强制其公开相关信息。\n\nOUTA执行经理Julius Kleynhans表示，广大居民有权知晓协议的具体细节。

原文原文 / Original Text

Johannesburg's mayor has told residents the lights are not going out. Eskom's own legal process to cut the city's power is still running. No signed agreement between the two has been made public.

That is the gap at the centre of the R5.2-billion debt crisis gripping South Africa's biggest city.

Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa and City of Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero both announced in May that a resolution had been reached on the city's mounting debt to Eskom.

But Eskom's Promotion of Administrative Justice Act process, the formal legal mechanism the utility uses before cutting supply to a municipality, has not been suspended. Eskom cited the city's failure to honour previous payment arrangements.

No signed settlement has been released. There is no confirmed date for when one will be made public.

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse and a coalition of business chambers and residents' associations have now served legal papers on the city. They are demanding proof that a binding agreement exists. If the city does not produce it, they say they will go to court to force disclosure.

OUTA executive manager Julius Kleynhans said residents have a right to see the details.
