“The City of Ekurhuleni’s operations have largely been hampered by wide-ranging cases of non-payment by those using services provided by the municipality.
“In some cases, the services were accessed via illegal electricity connections. Our officials are finding those culprits, disconnecting them and forcing them to pay up their overdue accounts,” he explained.
