Lloyd Ntlemo, revenue specialist at Reuven City Power spoke about why this drive was undertaken.
“We undertook this drive as these businesses have been paying small amounts concerning the large sums they owe to keep their power on. In addition, there also have been cases of illegal connections being created to avoid paying,” said Lloyd.
Businesses were cut off until payments were made or arrangements for regular payment were outlined at the Reuven City Power office.
