City Power's preliminary investigation into the cause of the electrocution of a couple in Crosby, near Mayfair in Johannesburg, has revealed that an electricity meter was bridged and the earth disconnected on the meter box inside their house.

Mangena confirmed that a “no-power” call was logged with City Power on June 12 for two properties on St Ives Street in Mayfair, which were attended to the same day around 9pm.“We have also decided to issue the family with a notice to disconnect their power until the legal requirements for safe connection have been established. The customer would need to follow the City Power reconnection process before we could reconnect them,” he said.

“We have conducted operations, including during #KleenaJoburg Reloaded, to inspect bypassed meters and to remove illegal connections. The last operation to remove illegal connections was on April 13 with a follow-up planned for mid-June,” he said.
