Eskom carries out an enforcement operation in Lion Park following a court order aimed at illegal electricity connections. According to a report, the utility’s action results in the seizure of more than 20,000 metres of copper cables and 49 transformers. The operation affects electricity supply in the affected area, with residents reporting that they are left without power while the illegal connections are removed or dismantled.
The account frames the operation as part of Eskom’s effort to reduce unauthorised power use and comply with legal directions. The reported figures indicate the scale of the materials Eskom recovers during the crackdown, including wiring and equipment used in unauthorised connections.
While the report focuses on the quantities seized and the immediate impact on residents’ electricity supply, it does not provide further details in the supplied text on any arrests, charges, or the timelines for restoration of services. The operation is presented as an enforcement step connected to the court order and Eskom’s broader efforts to address illegal connections.
