He cited numerous robberies, including technicians being held at gunpoint, robbed of personal items, laptops, and toolboxes, and even subjected to hijackings resulting in injuries requiring hospitalisation. These continuous attacks hinder the technicians in carrying out their essential work, which includes responding to unplanned outages, performing essential maintenance, and conducting audits, all aimed at ensuring communities have uninterrupted access to electricity.
Mangena emphasised that these attacks are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The safety and security of City Power’s technicians remain a priority to ensure uninterrupted power services for the residents.
