According to a notice from the City, the entity will "take a tough line on defaulting prominent business accounts and cut off power supply on businesses that refuse to pay for services".
"The objective of this operation is to recover R363 million owed to the Alexandra Service Delivery Centre, improve revenue collection levels on outstanding debt, and further assist defaulting businesses with payment arrangements in settling their outstanding accounts."
In November 2021, Johannesburg Mayor Mpho Phalatse was targeted by opposition parties who withdrew a motion of no confidence in her at the eleventh hour. Among several issues, the parties were concerned about what they called a "financial crisis" in the City.
