Bulk electricity supply to Boshof, Seretse,
Dealesville and Hertzogville, part of the Tokologo Local Municipality, could be interrupted daily, from 31 January 2025.
Interruptions could happen every day, for a few hours a day.
This is if Eskom is not paid an amount of R328 711 887.46 (Three hundred and twenty-eight million, seven hundred and eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty-seven Rands and 46 cents) owed by the Municipality.
As a result, Eskom published a notice of the possible disconnection of bulk electricity supply to Tokologo Local Municipality (the Municipality) in the Free State in accordance with the provision of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA).
Eskom’s Daphne Mokwena, said the last payment received from the Municipality was R150 000 on 05 October 2021.
But the Municipality charges, collects and receives money from its customers for the supply of electricity.
The closing date for submissions will be on the 06th January 2025. After considering these submissions, Eskom will communicate the final decision on or before 16 January 2025.
