Die situasie het egter verder vererger toe hy rekeninge vir R35 000 en later selfs R56 000 ontvang het, wat hy hewig betwis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Zyl het die munisipaliteit se berekeningsmetodes onder die loep geneem en beweer dat daar foute en gemanipuleerde data in hul berekening is. Hy wys op teenstrydigheid tussen die munisipaliteit se rekords en sy daaglikse meterstande, en bevraagteken die metodes wat gebruik word om sy verbruik te bepaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Groot bron van frustrasie vir Van Zyl is dat die munisipaliteit weier om duidelike verduidelikings te verskaf. Hy het herhaaldelik gevra vir gedetailleerde state wat wys hoe die munisipaliteit by die R56 000-rekening uitgekom het, maar beweer dat hulle geweier het om hierdie inligting te verskaf. Hy glo hulle probeer hul foute wegsteek en dat hulle nie bereid is om deursigtigheid te toon nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groter infrastruktuurkwessie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Van Zyl het ook sy bre\u00ebr kommer uitgespreek oor die betroubaarheid van die munisipaliteit se kragmeters. Hy wys daarop dat baie meters dekades oud is \u2013 sommige is reeds 48 jaar oud \u2013 en moontlik nie gereeld getoets word nie. Hy bevraagteken of ander inwoners soortgelyk te veel betaal sonder dat hulle dit besef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Zyl beklemtoon die behoefte aan gereelde toetsing van hierdie verouderde meters en dring aan op deursigtigheid in die hantering van verbruikersklagtes. Hy glo die infrastruktuur is verouderd is en dat die stelsel hervorming nodig het om regverdigheid vir verbruikers te verseker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Zyl wil graag inwoners waarsku om hul elektrisiteitsrekeninge noukeurig te monitor en enige onre\u00eblmatighede met die relevante owerhede te bespreek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Stad Kaapstad het gereageer op kommentaar en bevestig dat hulle wel in kontak was met Van Zyl. Verder s\u00ea die Stad ingevolge die Wet op die Beskerming van Persoonlike Inligting (POPIA) mag die hulle geen rekeningverwante inligting bekend maak nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners word aangemoedig om die Stad se oproepsentrum by 0860 103 089 te skakel as hulle sou agterkom dat die Stad hulle meer laat betaal as wat hulle werklik verbruik.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
