Eleven North West municipalities owe ESKOM more than R7-billion

Power utility Eskom says 11 municipalities in the North West owe it over R7.5 billion. The Klersdorp-based City of Matlosana is the biggest culprit with an unpaid debt of R2.3 billion.

The Ditsobotla Local Municipality owes Eskom 1.2 billion Rand and is struggling to fulfill any of their financial obligations. Although a number of these municipalities are participating in a debt relief programme, their debt keeps increasing. SALGA’s provincial chairperson, Khumalo Molefe says, “We are owed millions by government across the boards provincially and nationally and not only provincial and national governments but government entities as well as the private sector. We are all owed millions. So we are saying let’s balance let us be paid, let the government pay us. So that we are able to service our creditors amongst them, Eskom.
