And the Emalahleni’s Eskom debt breaks through the R5 billion barrier.
Eskom is crumbling under the Mpumalanga municipalities owing the entity over R13 billion.
“At the end of March, Eskom is owed R13.253 billion by 10 municipalities in Mpumalanga for services rendered,” Eskom blew off steam.
Eskom supplies bulk electricity to its municipal customers which is re-distributed and consumed.
These municipalities receive government grants, as well as payment for services rendered from their loyal customers.
“However, Eskom remains unpaid for the electricity consumed by these municipalities. This behaviour of not honouring account payments, threatens the security of supply to the citizens residing in these supply areas, as Eskom cannot continue to maintain its infrastructure and supply electricity,” Eskom’s media desk wrote.
