The City of Johannesburg has lost more than R300m due to theft and vandalism of its properties.
Mayor Herman Mashaba said the amount could escalate further.
"Yesterday [Tuesday], I was alerted by council members, during our visible service delivery committee meeting, of the concerning upward trend of vandalism and theft of City Power infrastructure.
"This was cited as the biggest reason to the slowness in delivering electrification of streets in some areas of our city.
