City Power in Johannesburg says it will resume its operations in Alexandra, Johannesburg, this morning. It says this follows a constructive meeting with community leaders on Wednesday.
The power utility’s technicians were supposed to work on the outages in the area, but the work was temporarily suspended after community members attacked two City Power employees on Tuesday evening.
“We strongly condemn these actions because when people do not have electricity, attacking other people that are supposed to provide that service or damaging municipal or government infrastructure is something that only serves to exacerbate the situation and you will need the very same services in the future,” says City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena.
