The City of Cape Town is urging residents to be
aware of scammers that are pretending to be City electricity officials.
According to the City, a resident in Sanddrift
reported that two scammers visited her home claiming to work for the City’s
Electricity Department to check on electricity prepaid meters in the area.
Mayoral Committee Member for Energy, Xanthea Limberg,
said the resident allowed the scammers to enter their home, they started to
steal items while the resident was not looking.
“We ask residents to be
alert especially our elderly residents. Residents are urged to verify the
official identity and work order number with the city before giving them
access. All legitimate city staff will identify themselves before asking access”
said Limberg.
