As a result, the Southern Courier newspaper will not be distributed in Naturena today.
“At this stage, we cannot confirm whether our edition for this week will not be delivered at all. It depends on activity in the area,” said Marietta Lombard, editor-in-chief for Caxton Joburg Metro.

The City of Joburg is declaring war against lawlessness in Naturena as most households don’t pay for services.
According to the City, of the 3 000 prepaid customers in Naturena, only less than half of those are vending, costing City Power almost R27m annually.
Residents have been advised to pay municipal accounts to avoid power or water being switched off.
