If this appears on your timeline kindly repost. A female e-hailing driver was robbed of her belongings, but the brave woman remained remarkably calm throughout the ordeal. If you recognise this criminal, call the nearest Police Station.

Joburg Mayor, Dada Morero says the city will run out of money in 12 days. Despite this, Morero says the city expects service delivery to improve once funding is received from Treasury. He says much of the money will go towards paying Eskom and Rand Water. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403.

The operation commenced on Beatrice Street in Windsor West, where teams conducted by-law enforcement and electricity compliance inspections. During the operation, officials visited a business premises and discovered that the business was operating with an illegal electricity connection and without a registered electricity meter. The inspection revealed that electricity was being illegally supplied from a nearby supply box using a long cable. The response team immediately confiscated the cable used for the unlawful connection and took the necessary enforcement action against the business. #HighImpactServiceDelivery #CityPowerServices #ReimaginingJoburg
