Residents of Northern Place in Lenasia say they are fed up following electricity outages due to illegal connections.

In a post circulating on social media, residents have complained about the informal settlement that has mushroomed in Northern Place near the Khanqa Sheikh Zakariyya Masjid including the myriad of illegal connections that are posing a risk to the community.

Residents have accused the informal settlement of stealing power and cables that are connected to homes in the area.

A resident say they drafted petitions and engaged with authorities, but their concerns have fell on deaf ears.

“I am one of the residents of Lenasia Drive Extension 1 in Lenasia. Because of the informal settlement we’re having endless problems. Every day we don’t have lights, every week we have electricity theft, electricity cable theft. Please help us.”
