The Gauteng Department of Health disputes City Power's claim of a hefty debt from Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa hospitals.
The Gauteng Department of Health has refuted City Power's allegations of more than R30 million in unpaid electricity bills at Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa hospitals.On Thursday, the power utility paid a visit to the hospitals during a revenue collection drive to hand over disconnection notices, alleging the two owed about R32 million in total.
“We will wait for the confirmations of payments, and if the payments come through, we are happy as City Power to confirm and not disconnect, but if it doesn’t, we will disconnect.”The department has, however, denied City Power’s claims, saying that both facilities’ electricity billing were in a “healthy state”.
“There is, however, only one invoice that is outstanding for the month of June 2023, which City Power has not uploaded to the e-invoicing portal,” said GDoH spokesperson Motalatale Modiba.
