Stop op pad huis toe vir kitskos, want die krag is dalk vanaand tuis af.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ESKOM het Maandagmiddag om 17:00 \u2019n persverklaring uitgereik waarin die publiek in kennis gestel is dat voortgegaan sal word met die onderbreking van elektrisiteitsvoorsiening na Middelburg en Cradock van 4 Junie af.<\/p>\n

Dit volg op die Inxuba Yethemba-munisipaliteit (IYM) se onvermo\u00eb om te hou by verskeie afbetalingsooreenkomste wat die afgelope twee jaar met Eskom aangegaan is.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Die munisipaliteit skuld Eskom meer as R98\u2009miljoen, en hoewel IYM se munisipale bestuurder, Xolela Msweli, verlede week ges\u00ea het dat die Chris Hani-distriksmunisipaliteit (CHDM) namens IYM \u2019n betaling van R10\u2009miljoen teen Vrydag sou maak, het Eskom teen Maandag nog nie \u2019n sent betaling ontvang nie.<\/p>\n

Inwoners en sake-eienaars van Middelburg en Cradock het Maandag vergeefs probeer om kontak te maak met Msweli en burgemeester Ray Shweni.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Msweli het verlede week aan die Middelburg Sake- en Belastingbetalersforum die versekering gegee dat elektrisiteitsvoorsiening nie onderbreek sou word nie.<\/p>\n

Teen 17:00 Maandag is vertroulik verneem dat CHDM wel IYM se aansoek om R10 miljoen hulp ontvang het, maar dat dit na \u2019n spesiale burgemeesterskomitee verwys sou word wat eers gister (Woensdag, 5 Junie) sou vergader, waarna \u2019n spesiale CHDM raadsitting \u2019n finale besluit sou neem.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Volgens Rika Featherstonehaugh, hoofsweep van die DA in die munisipaliteit, is die situasie uiters plofbaar.<\/p>\n

\u201cDie impak van die opgeskorte kragvoorsiening sal baie negatief op ons ekonomie en noodsaaklike gemeenskapsdienste soos watervoorsiening en die twee staatshospitale in Middelburg en Cradock inwerk. Ons skole en koshuise is ook bekommerd oor hoe die kragonderbrekings leerlinge se eksamenvoorbereiding sal affekteer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Featherstonehaugh het ges\u00ea die verdwyning van miljoene rande in die hande van die munisipaliteit se ANC-leierskap bly die grootste vraagstuk.<\/p>\n

\u201cOns het twee jaar gelede R40\u2009miljoen geskuld, en nou het dit opgeloop na R98 miljoen. Buitensporige salarisse en betalings aan kontrakteurs word bo Eskomskuld geprioritiseer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Die SA Polisiediens van die twee geaffekteerde dorpe is op \u2019n gereedheidsgrondslag geplaas, aangesien inwoners reeds \u2019n geruime tyd ernstige probleme met munisipale dienslewering ervaar. Tot tyd en wyl IYM daarin slaag om \u2019n voorlopige betaling te maak wat die elektrisiteitsvoorsiener tevrede stel, kan inwoners van Middelburg en Cradock die volgende skedule kragonderbrekings te wagte wees:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
Week 1 (4\u20139 Junie)<\/span><\/strong>

<\/p>\n

Dinsdag tot Vrydag: 06:00 \u2013 09:00 en 17:00 \u2013 20:30

<\/p>\n

Saterdag en Sondag: 08:30 \u2013 12:00 en 15:00 \u2013 19:00

<\/p>\n

Week 2 (vanaf 10 Junie)<\/span><\/strong>

<\/p>\n

\n

Maandag \u2013 Sondag: 06:00 \u2013 20:00<\/p>\n

Volgens Eskom sal die 14 uur-lange onderbrekings volgehou word totdat die munisipaliteit die volle bedrag vereffen of \u2019n betalingsooreenkoms met Eskom bereik en daarby hou. Eskom waarsku egter dat die algehele afsnyding van elektrisiteitsvoor-siening nie van die tafel is nie, en dat hulle met \u2019n 15-dae kennisgewing wel tot di\u00e9 stap kan oorgaan indien IYM se skuldsituasie nie verbeter nie.<\/p>\n
