No effort is ever too small. Those South Africans who support legal power use, and
act against electricity theft, contribute to better living standards for themselves
and a sustainable future for all.
What South Africans can do:
- Become legal electricity users and report those who are not
- Pay all electricity bills, as non-payment is also illegal and contributes
to revenue loss
- Those who qualify for Free Basic Electricity (FBE), should ensure
that they are registered to receive this service and collect their free tokens monthly
- Become energy efficient and save money (see chapter EFFICIENCY IS
KEY)
- Influence co-workers, employers, friends, family and neighbours to
become ambassadors for legal electricity use
What constitutes a criminal offence:
- Stealing vending machines that dispense pre-paid electricity vouchers
and the reselling of these vouchers
- Tampering with meters
- Bypassing meters
- Making illegal connections to utilities’ networks
