US EditionAfrica: South Africa Restores Power At Nigerian High Commission After Debt Payment
The City of Tshwane enforced its #TshwaneYaTima campaign by disconnecting power to recover unpaid utility bills from the Nigerian High Commission, restoring supply after payment.
- On Monday, electricity was restored to the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria after the mission cleared outstanding municipal utility bills following disconnection by the City of Tshwane.
- City of Tshwane officials said enforcement was part of the #TshwaneYaTima campaign targeting consumers with unpaid utility bills, prompting the Nigerian High Commission's disconnection and subsequent payment.
- Moya posted on X with a photograph and wrote `We've disconnected electricity at the High Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They owe the city for utility services`, and she said power would be reconnected after payment.
- The development drew attention to financial and administrative challenges some diplomatic missions face abroad, and the mission has not yet issued an official statement.
- This echoed an earlier case in which City Power cut supply to a Nigerian consulate in Johannesburg over a debt of at least R600,000 .
