City power

Worst mistake ever having to deal with government entities.

Im a new property owner, and went to city power hursthill offices to aubmit a fault log as i dont have a COJ OR Prepaid meter... city power then informed me that i must pay a fine for the previous owner whonos deceased that never purchased electricity on a regular basis.. what the hell does that have to do with me

When i went to city power hursthill to advise the property does not have prepaid meter they advised me that i first need to obtain a Coj rates and taxed account before i can apply for a meter.

To date.. city power and city of johannesburg has still not issued me with a rates and taxed account after going there 14times to ask when will i be issued a rates and taxes account its been 5 months and im still waiting

This is absolutely absurd that i must pay for someone i never knew !!!

Please can i get help.. going to offices numerous timea is clearly not solving any problem
