“This causes the substations and the meters to trip and blow resulting in a shorter life span of our infrastructure,” said Mangena
City Power was in its quest to clamp on illegal connections were supported by the South African Police Services, the Passengers Rail Agency of South Africa and private security. Earlier this month, newly-weds Zaheer and Nabeela Sarang died after they were electrocuted at their home in Mayfair.Mangena said they did an investigation and discovered that the couple lived in a cottate at the back of the house and where getting electricity from the main house whose meter had been bridged.
“Immediately where there is vandalism or tampering, there is already a malfunction. We checked the meter and found that the live earth was not there. If he is not there, it creates shocks. You might touch a door and be shocked.“They weren’t buying electricity after they vandalized the meter and that can only be the reason there was an electric shock.
“Already, the meter and the box were weakened without a ground wire. They hooked up on it and provided a cable to the newlyweds, and that’s what we think shocked the couple.
So where does the people who are living in the informal settlements next door to Crosby receive their electricity from? They have tv's, dstv etc CityPowerJhb GeoffMakhubo ,it's like the informal settlements in Bosmont, same thing
AND AS YOU LEAVE IT GETS CONNECTED AGAIN SO JA PROBLEM THE SAME !!! ANC PROMISED FREE EVERYTHING FOR THE VOTE SO THEY WILL GET FREE OR NO VOTE !!!
Where did your journalists learn their English? '... as City Power got ready to conduction an operation to cut off illegal...'
If any of those Somalians are found to have bypassed the meters, they must be deported pronto!!
I hope they have a blast💣⚔️💣
So were they waiting for people to die before they can disconect illegal conections ?
