Eskom has issued the May 2023 invoice of R904 million payable on 17 June to the City. Eskom says it has engaged with the City on numerous occasions regarding its failure to settle the debt it owes. Eskom’s, Mpumelelo Mnyani explains: “The power utility has appealed to the City to immediately settle the March and April 2023 invoices and to pay its monthly accounts on the due date. Eskom does not have the financial capacity to continue supplying bulk electricity to the City without the necessary payments. Eskom has in the past escalated this matter to National Treasury and CoGTA, however, regardless of all these efforts, the situation is worsening.
