CAUGHT CONNECTING ELECTRICITY DAYLIGHT WITH THE POLICE WATCHING<\/h2>\n

A couple of izinyokas made a bold move when they decided to\u00a0connect electricity\u00a0illegally and in broad daylight.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to the two men, a community member captured their criminal activity on a cellphone and sent the photo evidence to City Power officials.<\/p>\n

When City Power went to the area in Alexandra on Tuesday morning, residents identified the men and where they lived.<\/p>\n

City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena applauded the residents who took the photo and reminded the public that connecting electricity illegally is a criminal offence.<\/p>\n

\u201cCity Power and ward councillors will open a criminal case against the men in the picture,\u201d said Mangena.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank residents for being the eyes and ears of the entity that is battling to provide power to residents due to overload that is caused by izinyokas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mangena said Alexandra is one of the townships struggling with izinyokas who are costing the city millions of rands due to illegal power connections.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue clamping down on illegal power connectors and we ask the public to report incidents of illegal power connection in their areas,\u201d Mangena told residents on a WhatsApp messaging group.<\/p>\n
