Electrcity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said that non-complying municipalities were not making it any easier for the power utility to get back on its feet.
JOHANNESBURG - Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has raised concerns over the ongoing non-compliance of municipalities to pay Eskom for electricity supply.
Earlier this week, the power utility announced that Tshwane and Ekurhuleni owed a combined amount of R4.7 billion. While Treasury has listed a number of requirements that municipalities must meet to have a portion of their debt written off, Ramokgopa isn’t optimistic that they will meet them.
