City Power contractor nabbed for R800 bribe
A City Power contractor has been arrested for allegedly attempting to solicit a bribe from a customer in Rabie Ridge.
The contractor was caught illegally connecting electricity for the customer for R800.
The suspect was arrested on Saturday.
"It is worrying that this comes as a trend of illegal connections in Mayibuye is beginning to rear its ugly head yet again, not long after completing the installation of meters in the area,” said City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena.
"City Power has strongly condemned the actions of these unscrupulous contractors.
"In our efforts to combat theft, vandalism, illegal connections and tempering, we have taken a firm stance by going after all the enablers within the entity."
