Eskom on Tuesday said it had received a R54m payment from the Maluti-a-Phofung municipality in Free State, which owes it R6.6bn for electricity used but not paid for.
“Eskom appreciates this payment and hopes that this is the start to a new chapter. It is, however, not true that Eskom has a payment arrangement with Maluti-a-Phofung.The power utility said it was pleased to learn that the municipality’s revenue collection campaign is bearing fruit and that more than R134m has been collected in the past three months.
“We hope to see more of this, to make a significant dent in the municipality's debt. We again urge the municipality to sign a payment agreement with Eskom as a commitment to service its current account and overdue debt.”“We look forward to engaging Maluti-a-Phofung on the payment arrangement while the current account is paid in full on the due date.”
