The provincial government has assured residents that the situation is under control.
Thaba Chweu – The community in the area has been assured that there will be no power that will be cut-off.
This comes amid a commitment by Eskom that it would cut-off electricity at Thaba Chweu on Wednesday (16 October 2013) due to a huge debt by the municipality.
The provincial government has assured residents that the situation is under control.
In a media statement issued by the officer of the premier reads: “There will be no cut-off of electricity as previously communicated. The provincial government has intervened at Thaba Chweu by sending a team which is assisting to address the challenges faced by the municipality including money owed to Eskom.”
The statement further reads that: “The public will be kept informed about any further developments in this regard. We therefore request the community to be rest assured that there would be no electricity cut-off whatsoever until the negotiations have been concluded between the provincial government and Eskom.”
