💡Msunduzi municipality is considering escorting electricity staff when they respond to after-hours calls due to recent attacks and mugging. Eskom loadshedding TheCitizenNews Read the story ⬇️
City manager Lulamile Mapholoba appealed to councillors to appreciate the delicate state of the matter. He said it would not be right to suspend after-hours services.
“Some of the security are private protectors so definitely we need to provide security for our staff. There’s a lot of unscrupulous elements out there in the community, and it’s those who know they are not buying electricity and they have been enjoying this service for years.“The issue here is the culture of people not wanting to pay for municipal services.
Between January and August 2022, at least four incidents of robbery of employees at gunpoint were reported. This prompted acting general manager for electricity, Thabani Madlala, to say that due to safety concerns following these attacks, delays would be experienced and this would affect electricity restoration times.
