City Power Takes Action – Non-Paying Businesses in Joburg Face Disconnection

City Power has launched a comprehensive initiative to address the growing issue of unpaid electricity bills in Johannesburg, focusing on non-paying businesses in Roodepoort, located in the western part of the city.

According to SABC News, the ongoing efforts to recover unpaid bills result from a substantial outstanding balance of R700 million in unpaid electricity bills at the Roodepoort service delivery centre.

Isaac Mangena, the spokesperson for City Power, has officially confirmed that a total of six businesses, collectively owing an outstanding amount of R42 million, have been subjected to disconnections as part of the ongoing campaign to rectify the revenue deficit.

Mangena emphasises the significance of maintaining a balanced debt ledger and asserts that City Power will carry out regular operations to ensure all businesses fulfil their financial responsibilities.

Mangena highlights the importance of cultivating responsible business practices and fostering collaborative efforts to uphold the integrity of the local electricity infrastructure.

City Power continues its tireless efforts to enhance debt management and revenue recovery while actively encouraging business entities to prioritise their financial obligations and contribute to the sustainable operation of the local electricity network.
