We are at Morgenhof Golf Estate Akasia Pretoria North . We extended the municipal revenue collection drive to residential estates. MorgenHof Lifestyle Golf Estate is serviced by third-party electricity billing agents called Constantia. We had to switch off the electricity because the residents pay for electricity and Constantia doesn't pay the municipality. This intervention was not directed at residents, but Constantia which is responsible for settling municipal accounts. The vision is about strengthening the city’s ability to sustain essential public services. In cases where responsible agents fail or refuse to pay what is owed to the municipality, electricity Will be disconnected to protect municipal revenue and public resources. accountability from private companies is key to building a financially stable, people-centred city that supports communities, workers and economic development. #EFFInGovernment

Smart meters help us prevent bypassed meters and illegal connections. They also protect residents from inflated accounts. Preventing water and electricity theft is key to the stability of the municipality, and the DA is committed to finding real solutions.

RECAP: Acting CEO Charles Tloane highlighting serious by-law contraventions at a student accommodation facility in Halfway House. Although the property was approved for 14 units, the owner has built significantly more and owes over R2.4 million in outstanding electricity charges, which may be linked to NSFAS-funded accommodation. The inspection also revealed that the owner had illegally reconnected the electricity supply after a previous disconnection. Tloane urged residents and property owners to comply with municipal by-laws, settle outstanding accounts, and ensure their developments have the necessary approvals from the City of Johannesburg. "We will continue to intensify these operations to enforce compliance and protect the City's revenue base," he said. #HighImpactServiceDelivery #CityPowerServices #ReimaginingJoburg ^LP

An Ayawaso West Wuogon constituent has called on the member of parliament, Hon. John Dumelo and municipal authorities for immediate action against some horticulturists along the GIMPA stretch, who have reportedly dammed gutters in the area to access gathered water for irrigation. According to her, this may be a contributing factor to persistent flooding issues recorded in the municipality and as such, pose a significant risk to all residents.

Tshwane-owned water tankers are on the road providing water to residents. We recently announced that we are abandoning contracted services for water tankers. From 1 April, City staff have been working to provide water to residents in need. We visited Hammanskraal hydrant collection points this morning along with Ward Councillors and MMC for Utility Services Cllr Frans Boshielo. While work is underway to stabilise water supply through infrastructure maintenance and repairs, residents must continue to receive adequate water supply. All these efforts form part our Water Stabilisation Plan that’s backed by funding from the City’s budget. City of Tshwane

1/2 Residents of the city of Shostka, Sumy region, Ukraine, are sharing how they live under conditions of a partial blackout. For the second week, water and electricity are supplied according to schedules due to infrastructure damage caused by the russian army. Electricity and water are supplied according to established schedules, which forces people to plan their activities around the hours when light and water are available. Water supply is often switched to backup power using generators. To cook hot food, many residents use open fires, barbecues, and makeshift kitchens in courtyards and near entrances. They unite with neighbors and families for communal meal preparation.

We’re Tired of Living in Darkness – Ogun Community Accuses IBEDC of Abandonment Residents of Mogede Quarters in Ibafo, Ogun State, say they’ve endured 22 years of erratic power supply, with IBEDC only providing around 24 hours of electricity each month. Despite purchasing transformers and other equipments for their community, residents still suffer from lack of electricity. Angered by the chronic blackout, residents have taken to the streets in protest, calling on the government and the power company to restore stable electricity. They warn that without reliable power, their livelihoods, safety, and well-being remain at serious risk. However, the head of technical services IBEDC when contacted, stated that the current limitations are primarily due to constrained energy allocations from the Oke-Aro 132kV/33kV Transmission station. #poorelectricity #oguncommunity #ibafo #ogunstate #protest #ibedc
