South Africa’s Minister for Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has promised to work with ailing municipalities in the country to deal with their debt to Eskom.
The minister visited Tokologo Local Municipality in Boshof in the Free State to address municipal debt issues.
The municipality owes the power entity R328 million.
The last time the municipality honoured its debt with Eskom was three years ago.
Eskom intended to reduce electricity supply by the end of January next year but that move has since been averted.
Minister Ramokgopa says the municipality and the provincial government will look into how they resolve the issue.
