JOHANNESBURG - The City of Johannesburg is experiencing an all time high of non-paying electricity users.

Nyaniso Jeku from COJ says the city has started disconnecting defaulting customers.

These communities collectively owe the City a staggering R500 million

Jeku says warnings to defaulting customers have been falling on deaf ears.
