The City of Johannesburg is going after its worst defaulters who might soon have their entire electricity infrastructure, including electricity meters, removed as part of the City’s aggressive credit control initiative – under Project Lokisa banner.

The City has already identified more than 1 300 residential customers with a combined municipal debt of R978 million. These customers have failed to pay their municipal accounts for more than a year and risk the possibility of losing their electricity meters due to their persistent non-payment and their refusal to come forward and make arrangements with the City.
