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.

This actually made me realise that Politics have been dividing the Citizens of South Africa.🇿🇦
Wev been viewing ourselves as enemies whereas we are the last defence of this Country- especially when Politics have failed Citizens.
Patriots must organise themselves and each party that will govern must get approval from the United Patriotic Citizens themselves 🇿🇦
