Electricity supply to the Nigerian High Commission in South Africa was disconnected on Monday over unpaid utility service debts, according to the City of Tshwane’s executive mayor, Nasiphi Moya.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Ms. Moya announced that officials of the City of Tshwane had cut off electricity to the diplomatic mission after outstanding payments for municipal services remained unsettled.
The post was accompanied by a photograph of the Nigerian High Commission building in Pretoria, showing the city’s enforcement action against the mission.
