Zero security for power infrastructure in South Africa’s biggest city

• Johannesburg's power utility, City Power, has allegedly failed to employ a security company to protect its electricity infrastructure.
• The Democratic Alliance alleged that 17 mini-substations had already been vandalised in Randburg in the last four weeks, as the city is unable to monitor them to prevent damage.
• The party will now write to City Power demanding answers on both tenders, as well as current security contracts, expenditure, deployments and other measures taken to protect critical infrastructure.
