Joburg illegal power crackdown

Johannesburg power utility City Power has been conducting a cut-off operation to clamp down on illegal connections in the city, disconnecting at least 122 prepaid meters and removing 150kg of aluminium wire worth roughly R500,000.

The power utility published statements on Monday, 20 January, and Tuesday, 21 January 2025, detailing the progress of its cut-off operations.
 
See, they were promised free 'lektrik in exchange for votes.
This has now come to bite them in the ass, but it's too far down the road to do anything about it now.
 
They wouldn't have needed to leave their own offices to get 122 illegal connections, so a total waste of taxpayer money once again. And to think they believe that this is something to be proud of.

Moan when nothing is being done about illegal connections, moan even more when something is done.

We are a nation of moaners.
