CITY POWER JOHANNESBURG CUTS OFF POWER IN ALEXANDRA
City Power Johannesburg has disconnected the electricity supply in Riverpark, Alexandra, after community members made illegal connections.
The power utility stated that it had repeatedly warned residents to stop the illegal connections, but they allegedly ignored those warnings.
“We have repeatedly cautioned Riverpark residents that continued defiance, interference and resistance to lawful operations would result in a total supply disconnection.”
“However, those warnings have been met with contempt. Today’s events have forced us to act decisively,” explained City Power.
The power utility, in collaboration with SAPS, JMPD and contracted security personnel, targeted more than 450 households with no recorded electricity purchases, while 367 households had suspiciously low vending patterns.
Earlier this week, community members protested outside the Alexandra Service Delivery Centre over the disconnection of nine properties found with illegally tampered meters.
City Power urged residents to report illegal connections.
