JOHANNESBURG – Johannesburg City Power urged residents in the metro to pay for the services they consumed to avoid drastic measures, such as cutting off operations by the city.
This came after City Power engaged in a revenue collection drive in Newtown on Thursday, where it cut off power to businesses that owed a collective of R33 million to the city.
The utility said these drives were vital, as they helped the city collect funds that could be used in other areas.
