You'll pay for stolen cables

Residents and businesses will now be responsible for the service cables connecting properties to City Power's networks.

According to City Power's general manager for public relations and communication Isaac Mangena, the entity’s supply responsibility ends at a resident’s/business’s metering point.

This means that any cable running from the meter to a resident’s property or business is the responsibility of the property/ business owner.

When that cable is stolen, vandalised or damaged, the entity will not replace or install it.
