News24 reports that City Power has pulled its staff from Jeppestown in Johannesburg after a team of technicians was attacked.

The four technicians were attending to outage calls and were connecting customers to overhead lines in Wolhuter and Auret streets when they were attacked by six people on Sunday morning. City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena reported: "The six men pointed [guns] at our technicians... and took phones and money from them. They also assaulted them, leaving one badly injured. All this happened in full view of the community the technicians were there to assist." City Power decided not to finish the repairs and pulled the team out of the area "until their safety is guaranteed". Last month, technicians were attacked in Hillbrow and Alexandra. One of the victims of the Hillbrow attack is still in hospital.
