As an aside, there are some "electrical entrepreneurs" in the "informal settlements". These guys make sure someone gets paid for electricity by connecting up to some convenient street light, pump station or similar and running a distribution network to the houses; for which the occupier pays the "entrepreneur". Near to the site I'm working on, even bare barbed wire from the security fence was used as a conductor. Now and then the municipality sends an armed disconnection team (no one ever gets arrested) who disconnect the illegal connections but they are usually restored with a day or so. These electricity "accounts" definitely get paid, not the municipality of course.
