OUTA says City Power ring-fencing must translate into better service delivery

# The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse says City Power’s decision to ring-fence electricity revenue is a step towards improving Johannesburg’s electricity network. However, residents must see the money being used to improve the power network. From the first of next month, 70-percent of electricity revenue collected by the city will be transferred to City Power within 48 hours, while the city will retain 30-percent. OUTA’s Julius Kleynhans warns ring-fencing alone will not address corruption, waste, electricity losses and weak financial controls.
