14 tonnes of illegal connections removed in Zandspruit operation
Motorists were advised to avoid Beyers Naude Drive near Zandspruit on 1 June after illegal and dangerous electricity connections were removed.
The Honeydew Police, Johannesburg Metro Police Department, City Power and their independent contractors engaged in a joint operation to disconnect illegal electricity connections in the Zandspruit area.
Honeydew police spokesperson Captain Balan Muthan said that the issue of illegal electricity connections is something that has been plaguing the area for many years.
“After the operation, 14 tonnes of cabling to the value of R280 000 was removed,” said Muthan.
City Power cleared up most of the excess cables to be hauled away for storage.
“We would like to thank all police members, the JMPD and City Power with the help of their contractors for engaging in a successful operation today. We hope to continue operations like this into the year,” concluded Muthan.
