Just before 10 one recent morning, an LA neighborhood was rocked by loud explosions that residents say sounded like bombs going off. "There were two huge explosions, and when I looked out my apartment window I saw plumes of black smoke," said Jeanne Rice, who lives around the corner from a homeless encampment at Wilton Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard. Those plumes of smoke and fire were coming from a homeless tent that had exploded into a ball of fire, destroying the tent and other tents around it. The I-Team found this was just one of several encampment fires recently in this neighborhood dotted by new apartment and condo buildings.

As of 1 July, Gauteng residents on Joburg City Power's prepaid meters will be charged a recurring R200 monthly fee.  City Power said the new fee was split into two - R70 for service charges and R130 for network capacity charges.  The fee is in addition to the 12.7% tariff increase which the utility also implemented on 1 July. Johannesburg City Power said that it customers had not been contributing sufficiently to its service and capacity charges.  The utility said it was no longer sustainable for it to provide these services without charging.  City Power's general manager for pricing and tariffs, Frank Hinda, explained how this would work if a customer bought electricity for R200.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
