City Power targets Joburg hospitals’ R32m electricity bill
City Power will take its revenue collection operation to Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa hospitals in Johannesburg.
The two hospitals owe the city a combined R32 million for electricity.
The utility has embarked on a campaign to disconnect defaulting customers, including business and residential areas.
Spokesperson Isaac Mangena said the city will carry out its drive in Industria, Parkhurst, and Hursthill surrounding areas on Thursday.
"The revenue protection team will be targeting defaulting business and residential accounts that owe a collective of R13 million to City Power.
“In addition, we will be paying a special visit to Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital to hand over disconnection notices as they owe a combined R32 million.
“These weekly cut-off operations across the City of Johannesburg are aimed at sending a strong message to defaulters that City Power will not tolerate non-payment. It is also an opportunity for City Power to recover the revenue it needs to continue to provide essential services to the City's residents and businesses," said Mangena.
