On June 12, 2015 Glenvista Community Policing Forum patrollers came across a truck and a crew in the area during the load shedding fiddling with City Power boxes on Kirby Bellar Road, Glenvista, Johannesburg, South Africa.
When questioned they claimed to be City Power contractors but could not produce City Power identification, way leaf nor job reference. The patrollers immediately contacted City Power security which promptly arrested the whole crew for impersonating City Power officials and damage to property.
This community is fed up with City Power “Contractors” floating around the suburb. Especially in unmarked cars and without proper identification nor legitimate reason to be in the area. All City Power contractors must carry identification. Residents should always confirm with City Power if the contractor is legitimate and if he/she should be in the area through the City Power contact centre 0118703300 – this number is attended 24 hours a day.
