City Power said on a contrary opinion to popular belief, residents that come from well-off suburbs were the ones failing to pay their electricity bills or having illegal connections.
On Wednesday afternoon, officials were conducting what they tagged as “surprise cut-offs” for defaulters and illegal connections at houses located in Dainfern, close to Fourways.
The utility’s Isaac Mangena made a statement that this intervention demonstrates that they not only target poor areas but also well-off suburbs.
“Most people when they think ‘illegal’, immediately the areas that come through are those townships like Alexandra and others. But if you look at the collective amount that is owed by those kinds of areas it’s not even half of what is owed by these posh suburbs.”
He further said there is no one above the law.
“One of the securities was saying most of the premiers, MMCs and ministers stay in this area so what are you coming to cut them off?’, the answer was simple; those are the people that are supposed to be leading by example.”
