The South African Local Government Association has acknowledged there is a problem with so-called 'non-vending' prepaid electricity meters across the country.
Mulaudzi says they're busy implementing a programme to upgrade the software in these meters in different municipalities country-wide."This process of upgrading software in prepaid meters will enable us to identify those that are called non-vending..."Having a non-vending electricity meter doesn't necessarily mean that the household is stealing electricity through bypassing their meter or buying credits from non-authorised vendors.
