Dr Nasiphi Moya Takes Tough Action Against SAPS, Shoprite and Spar Over Millions in Unpaid Electricity

City of Tshwane Executive Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya has reportedly taken a tough stance against major institutions and businesses over outstanding electricity bills, with the South African Police Service (SAPS), Shoprite, Spar and the Nigerian Embassy among the entities allegedly affected.

According to claims circulating on social media, electricity supplies to these entities were disconnected after they allegedly accumulated millions of rand in unpaid electricity accounts owed to the municipality.

The reported enforcement action has attracted attention, particularly because it allegedly targeted prominent institutions and major commercial businesses rather than ordinary households.

The claims further suggest that the affected entities subsequently settled their outstanding electricity debts to have their power supplies restored and their operations continue.

Moya has increasingly been associated with efforts to strengthen revenue collection and address municipal debt, with unpaid municipal accounts remaining a major challenge for local government.

The reported disconnections have sparked discussion about accountability and whether government institutions, diplomatic missions and large businesses should face the same consequences as ordinary residents when they fail to pay for municipal services.

However, the specific amounts owed, the dates of the alleged disconnections and whether all the affected entities have settled their accounts have not been independently verified.

If confirmed, the action would send a strong message that no institution or business should be exempt from paying for electricity supplied by the municipality, regardless of its size or status.
