Verskaf<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nEskom s\u00ea ondanks vele onderhandelings om die munisipaliteite tegemoet te kom om hul skuld te vereffen, het die situasie \u2019n punt bereik waar daar nie meer onderhandel kan word nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elektrisiteitstoevoer kan van Donderdag 17 April af verminder, onderbreek of be\u00ebindig word. Di\u00e9 drastiese stappe word gedoen omdat die munisipaliteite hul ooreenkoms vir verskaffing met Eskom oortree het, asook weens die oortreding van lisensiebepalings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Moqhaka-munisipaliteit skuld Eskom R1 542 873 536, wat nie Januarie en Februarie se kragrekeninge insluit nie. Kroonstad, Steynsrus en Viljoenskroon word deur di\u00e9 munisipaliteit bedien. Ngwathe se skuld aan Eskom was teen einde Januarie R2 326 524 611. Di\u00e9 munisipaliteit bedien Parys, Heilbron, Phiritona, Edenville, Vredefort en Koppies. Die Nketoana-munisipaliteit, wat dienste lewer aan Lindley, Petrus Steyn en Reitz, het uitstaande skuld aan Eskom van R837 800 313.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daphne Mokwena, nasionale woordvoerder vir Eskom, het op Maandag 24 Februarie aan VrystaatKroon <\/span>bevestig dat Eskom streng gaan optree teenoor die munisipaliteite wat nie by hul afbetalingsooreenkomste hou nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cEskom gebruik verskeie maatre\u00ebls om agterstallige skuld van munisipaliteite in te vorder. Eskom werk egter ook saam met regeringsfere om \u2019n volhoubare oplossing vir die munisipale skuld-uitdaging te vind, wat strukturele hervormings vereis,\u201d s\u00ea Mokwena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As deel van Eskom se proaktiewe maatre\u00ebls en die aktiewe vennoot\u00adskapveldtog kan Eskom \u2019n verspreidings\u00adagentskapooreenkoms met \u2019n munisipaliteit aangaan. So \u2019n \u00adkontrak bied dienste daarop gemik om die volhoubaarheid van elektrisiteits\u00advoorsiening in die munisi\u00adpaliteit te herstel. Dienste sluit in vaardigheids\u00adontwikkeling en opleiding; die vervanging of aanbring van meters; en Eskom wat inkomste namens die munisipaliteit invorder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In sekere gevalle word Eskom egter gedwing om strenger stappe te doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dika Kheswa, woordvoerder vir Moqhaka, gee die versekering dat elektrisiteitstoevoer 14 werksdae lank nie onderbreek sal word nie. \u2019n Dringende beroep word op inwoners gedoen om hul rekening teen 7 Maart te betaal om onderbreking te voorkom. Re\u00eblings rondom agterstallige rekeninge kan getref word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moqhaka beplan openbare vergaderings om sy standpunt in verband met agterstallige Eskom-rekeninge aan die publiek voor te l\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom het op 12 Februarie \u2019n kennisgewing in VrystaatKroon <\/span>geplaas om belanghebbendes van die situasie in te lig. Openbare voorleg\u00adgings, kommentaar, voorstelle of versoeke kan teen 13 Maart aan Eskom gerig word. Uitsluit\u00adsel hieroor sal dan op 2 of 3 April gegee word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Die onderbreking van elektrisiteitstoevoer na die Moqhaka-, Ngwathe- en
