As part of its ongoing campaign to recover outstanding debt from certain municipalities, State-owned Eskom will on Thursday interrupt electricity supply to the eMalahleni and Msukaligwa municipalities, in Mpumalanga.

The power cuts will affect the Doornpoort, Churchill, Kwa-Guqa, Witbank and Ermelo areas.

The interruption of supply as a result of nonpayment remains an “agonising” decision and is a means of last resort, Eskom stated. “We take solace in the fact that we spared no effort to collect outstanding debts amicably,” it said.
