City Power will be disconnecting non-paying businesses in Johannesburg which ignore pre-disconnection warning notices.City Power has disconnected the power supply to business centres, manufacturing companies and the Apartheid Museum for failing to pay millions in electricity bills.
The team from the Reuven Service Delivery Centres embarked on their first day of a weeklong cut-off operation on Tuesday and targeted defaulting businesses in Comptonville, Village Main Extension, Ormonde Extension 33 and Aeron. The Reuven SDC tried to recover R40m of debt owed as part of the outstanding R8.9bn owed across Johannesburg. Reuven SDC is owed R1.2bn, said City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena.
The businesses cut off on Tuesday were given pre-disconnection notices months ago but have failed to make payment arrangements, he said. “The list of defaulters includes two business centres together owing a total of R4.3m, two mine equipment manufacturing companies owing a total of R1.3m and the Apartheid Museum near Gold Reef City owing R1.8m,” Mangena said.
