City Power condemns intimidation of technicians and suspends service in Kanana Ext. 4 and 5
City Power has strongly condemned what it called 'the growing incidents of threats, intimidation, and hostage situations' involving their technicians as they carry out critical repair and maintenance work across various areas. The power entity spokesperson Isaac Mangena said in recent weeks, the Midrand Service Delivery Centre (SDC) has experienced a worrying rise in such incidents. He said most notably, on July 11 community members from Kanana Extensions 4 and 5 stormed the Midrand SDC, blocked the gates for several hours, and disrupted operations by preventing technicians from attending to an outage in the area. Also read: City Power works around the clock to audit Mayibuye residents' meters 'Last night [July 10], City Power technicians responded to an outage in the area and discovered that the fault was linked to a problem on the overhead line, an issue that could only be safely addressed during the day. The task was then handed over to the day-shift team. However, while our teams were preparing to conduct the repairs and sourcing the necessary materials, community members blocked the gates and refused to let them leave the SDC,' said Mangena. He said this then further delayed the process of repair work in that area as well as in other areas. Mangena said on the same day, a team of electricians dispatched to Rabie Ridge were held hostage and threatened by residents, only being released after intervention from their Security Risk team. 'Two weeks ago, services to Mayibuye had to be suspended for nearly a week after technicians were similarly threatened and held hostage while attempting to conduct legitimate maintenance work in the area, including work to normalise the area by installing prepaid meters. Another incident occurred about three weeks ago in Klipfontein, where City Power technicians and a contractor were held hostage at a substation during a power outage,' added Mangena.

'We will continue to monitor the situation and will only resume work once it is safe to do so,' concluded Mangena.

High life to 'high and dry': Where is MaMkhize's ex, Sbu Mpisane?
While Shauwn Mkhize – also known as MaMkhize – has been hogging the headlines lately for all the wrong reasons, her ex, Sbu Mpisane, has been lying low. The former policeman-turned-politician and the businesswoman officially divorced last year. Although MaMkhize and Sbu Mpisane publicly announced their separation in 2019, their divorce was formally finalised last year. Mpisane – the father of Andile and Sbahle – claimed their split had not left him 'high and dry', as assumed by the public. He told Sunday World: 'I have survived from the inception of the divorce, and I still do. The final divorce settlement was in line with the constitution and laws of the country. 'However, our divorce papers were clear that our marriage was irreparable, based on the reasons known to her since she was the author of the divorce.' According to Sbu Mpisane's legal representative, assets accumulated in their marriage were 'distributed equally.' Furthermore, it was agreed that neither party was legally responsible for the other's debts. Sbu Mpisane first made headlines for his lavish lifestyle as a Metro police officer in the dog unit department in Durban. Despite earning less than R20 000 per month, the hotshot cop drove a Lamborghini to work and lived in a R15,5 million mansion, claims The Witness. Sbu and Shauwn (MaMkhize) often flashed their cash through star-studded parties, attended by the who's who of society and cabinet. The high-flying couple claimed that their wealth was accrued through their multimillion-rand business tenders. Sbu soon resigned from the Metro police and joined his wife in their family business, Zikhulise Group, which deals in the construction, cleaning, maintenance, and transport sectors. Where is MaMkhize's ex-husband, Sbu Mpisane, now? Images via Instagram: @royalam_fc/Gap Fixers SA After their split in 2019, there was a disagreement about ownership of their soccer club, Royal Eagles. The club later became Real Kings, and Royal AM, which has since been expelled from the PSL. The 'dirty laundry' was aired via an Instagram rant by their son, Andile Mpisane. In 2023, Sbu Mpisane – who still resides in their La Lucia marital home – announced his political ambitions as the chairperson of the Gap Fixers of South Africa party. He continues his work in the party, which promises to 'fix' racial inequality in the country. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
