The programme provides 50 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of free electricity each month to vulnerable households, including the unemployed, pensioners, child-headed households, and those earning under R7 500 per month. 'This isn't just about electricity. It's about dignity,' said Tshifularo Mashava, City Power CEO. 'It's about a warm meal and a child doing homework under a light bulb instead of a candle.'

City Power's outreach teams are currently active across Johannesburg's seven regions to assist with registrations. 'We are ready to assist. Now, we need the public to act. We don't want anyone left behind,' said Mashava. Residents can register by visiting the City Power website or their nearest service delivery centre before the 31 July deadline. Don't miss this opportunity to secure essential benefits and financial relief.
