CITY POWER'S PLAN TO FIGHT CABLE THEFT
October 29, 2025
|The Star
‘We are working with crime intelligence, the investigation units, and we are going to start dealing with those kinds of people’
CITY Power has stated that it is creating a plan to deal with the issues of cable theft and unauthorised connections on its grid, which are costing the city billions of rand.
Sergeant Thela, the head of risk and security for the power entity, made this announcement yesterday, the first day of the two-day City Power Energy Indaba 2025, which was hosted at the Marriott Hotel in Melrose Arch.
Thela said the city has seen an increase in illegal connections, mostly in places close to informal settlements across the city.
“We are witnessing a high incidence of illegal connections in informal settlements, where there are breaches of electricity. There are plans to deal with this problem, even though we are not at liberty to talk about these plans as they are of a sensitive, security nature.
