Eskom suspends disconnections in four Mpumalanga municipalities
Eskom has reached agreement with three municipalities and suspended electricity disconnections to another four municipalities in Mpumalanga, the parastatal said on Sunday.
Over the past number of weeks, Eskom had had several engagements with the municipalities in Mpumalanga who had defaulted on their electricity payments, Eskom said in a statement.
“We are pleased to report that we have reached [in] principle agreements with the following three municipalities in the Mpumalanga province, namely Chief Albert Luthuli, Mkhondo, and Thaba Chweu local municipalities.
“Eskom will continue to engage the remaining four municipalities namely, Goven Mbeki, Lekwa, Emakhazeni, and Nkomazi local municipalities, and we are confident that the parties will reach reasonable repayment agreements. However, should the agreements not be concluded within the week, Eskom will continue with the disconnection process.”
Eskom was also finalising discussions with eMalahleni local municipality and remained positive that an agreement would be concluded very soon, the statement said.
