Cape Town mayco member for energy Beverley van Reenen urged residents to report any suspicious behaviour:
The City of Cape Town has warned residents of scammers posing as City electricity employees in the Rondebosch area.
“The identification card must display the City logo, the name and surname of the staff member or mandated contractor, and must contain an embedded photo of the staff member or mandated contractor,” she said.“Our teams were also made aware of another scammer in the Bellville area, who contacted a resident telephonically and offered to write-off an electricity disconnection order, for a fee.
“When work is being carried out in a neighbourhood, municipal workers and City contractors carry a work order number specific to that home and a City-issued identification card.” “Residents are urged to be vigilant and to request these from the official before allowing them onto their property,” she said.
