Highveld Mall wants to pay their electricity directly to Eskom

Highveld Mall is turning to the judiciary to pave a way for businesses in Emalahleni Local Municipality to pay electricity directly to Eskom.

They are proposing a class action.

The municipality is not honouring their payment agreement with Eskom and the Eskom’s debt has skyrocketed to over R2-billion.
