City to disconnect illegal connections

Today, 16 January, the City of Johannesburg’s COO, Floyd Brink, is set to join a Buya Mthetho operation which will focus on large business and property owners who have connected illegally to the City’s services.

Operation Buya Mthetho, which was started by the JMPD early last year, is a daily ward-based raid initiative focusing on by-law contraventions, illegal connections, and bringing the rule of law back to the City.

The City will today focus on recently developed properties which have cost the City millions in lost revenue. Compliance notices and fines will be issued and disconnections will be made to any illegal connections that are found.
