Johannesburg apologizes to Mandela for billing blunder

JOHANNESBURG, Aug 6:  The City of Johannesburg apologized to Nelson Mandela and his family on Monday for mistakenly posting a non-payment notice on the former South African president’s house warning him his electricity was about to be cut off. The city, which has faced a barrage of complaints from residents for bungled bills, said the notice demanding payment of 6,468.48 rand ($660) was supposed to have been delivered to a different house.
