Residents outraged by demand notices
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - Despite the Matlosana Municipality’s own admission about systemic failures in its billing system, several residents were surprised with the dreaded pink letter warning that their electricity will be cut if they fail to pay the outstanding amount.
For Gideon Joubert of Meiringspark that means he must cough up close to R130 000 to avoid a disconnection. Ironically, his account is not and has never been in arrears. “I have evidence of all my water readings, I use prepaid electricity and pay my account in full every month. This is unacceptable to me to be harassed like this. It is humiliating to say the least,’’ he told Klerksdorp Record.
