State-owned Eskom on Tuesday clarified information reported by local media houses on Monday, involving power delivery directly to Harrismith’s 100 biggest power users, to bypass the local Maluti-a-Phofung municipality, owing to its debt to Eskom.
The utility stated in a media release that the Bloemfontein High Court had ordered that a consultative committee be established to assist the municipality with the repayment of its R4-billion debt to Eskom.
