City Power’s Isaac Mangena, confirmed that a team from the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (the Hawks) visited the power utility’s head office on Thursday.
In a statement, he confirmed this is part of an ongoing investigation that began in 2024.
“As previously communicated, the Hawks had earlier served City Power with a formal Request for Information (RFI)” said Mangena.
The hawks are said to be investigating a R67 million purchase order for new transformers.
Mangena said City Power continues to cooperate fully with the process and remains committed to providing all the necessary information required.
“It is important to note that these visits are part of the normal course of the investigation and not raids. The Hawks may, from time to time, visit our premises when they require additional information and we have made it clear.”
