This is what happened to Chicco Twala on Monday. He was arrested for allegedly assaulting and waving a gun at a City Power worker at a party on Sunday night. There was a power outage outside his home studio in Bloubosrand in the north of Johannesburg at the time. Power had been out in the area since Wednesday.Sello ‘Chicco’ Twala/

There was an assault and pointing a gun at someone in Randburg. Brig. Brenda Muridili said that a 59-year-old man was arrested for that. “It is said that the suspect and a complainant got into a fight where the suspect pointed a gun at the complainant,” the woman told the news station. “Two toy guns were taken away from the suspect.”

Isaac Mangena, a spokesperson for City Power, says that they haven’t been able to get power back to the area because technicians are afraid for their lives.See the source image

He said that the utility’s test branch found the problem and was working on fixing it. When Twala came up to them, he told them to leave because he had electricity. In Mangena’s words, the musician’s power comes from a different source than the power of other people in his street do.

Teams said they could be there and work on the network on the pavement where municipal service runs. This is what they said to him. One of the contractors was said to have been shot by a resident who pulled out a gun, cocked it, and put it to his head. He then slapped him and choked him, pinning him to the ground, so he could not move.

“The community came to our aid and saved our team, so we decided to leave without doing the repairs.” Our team, with the help of the ward councillor, filed a complaint against the resident. We hope the police will do the right thing. Before we go back to finish our work, the police must act against the resident and make sure that our teams are safe.See the source image

Twala was taken away from his home by the cops on Monday. Sowetan was at the Douglasdale police station at the same time. Later, the singer was seen sitting in his car outside of the police station in his car. “One of the technicians was so scared that he ran away, and his colleagues had to drive around looking for him to take him home, only to find that he had already gone home.”

 

 

 
Four homes have been without power since Wednesday, and to get it back, they’d have to turn off the power from the grid. That’s when the problem happened. A resident got in the way of City Power. It’s not a good thing that we’re having to deal with. It would have been out until at least 7.30pm. “The technicians were ready to work when their neighbor pulled out a gun,” she said.

Another person who was hurt said that. As far as I know, it was very bad. As you can see, the box was left open. Those who have power, well, that one gentleman, slowed down the work to be done. Because I live with little girls, I use our security gate and electric fence to keep them safe. We still don’t have power.” “We leave our gate open while we sleep, which is dangerous,” she said.
