Residents will remain without power until the issues are resolved.

The disconnection, classified as a Level 3 revenue protection action, followed a special meter audit along Pine Avenue and surrounding areas on February 25, with the cut implemented on March 2, City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena said. The move comes after recurring unplanned power outages have plagued the area since December.

“The disconnection, classified as a Level 3 revenue protection action, means residents of the complex will remain without electricity until the required compliance processes are completed”
