The Star reports that City Power has warned Johannesburg residents not to allow any person, technician or contractor onto their property without first verifying their credentials with City Power’s risk control unit.
City Power technicians must have an identity card with a photo, identity verification number, expiry date and hologram. Technicians most likely to request access are meter readers, cut-off teams, contractors or meter maintenance teams. “We have become aware of impostors and urge residents to be highly vigilant and report any suspicious persons or vehicles. Risk control will dispatch a response vehicle immediately to apprehend suspects,” said Virgil James, spokesperson for City Power.
