More arrests are expected following the nabbing of an official from the City of Joburg’s Ombudsman office this week for alleged bribery involving an inflated water and electricity bill.
“This was just one person, imagine how many others have paid bribes just to get these bills resolved after battling to do so with the revenue offices,” he said. The city’s group forensic and investigation service department received a complaint from an employee of the JPC who recently received a water and lights bill of about R400000.
The city would also like to encourage people to report any fraud and corruption activities through the 24-hour tip-off hotline 0800002587 or visit the GFIS offices at 48 Ameshoff Street in Braamfontein.
