Time ticking for South Africans to recode electricity meters

[@1986aurora]

We are paying for those refusing to pay and breaking the law, he didnt lie.

[@Zam-mi9wz]

I am happy this is happening for two reasons: 1) South Africans ( blacks in particular) will see that the ANC is not fit to be government and does not care about their well-being. 2) South africans would stop voting for ANC or any of its children (EFF OR MK) but instead would look at policies next time they vote because clearly voting for an organisation based on your skin color did not help😅. Effectively, you have no one but yourselves to blame for this chaos of children dying, a possibility of no electricity because you voted an uncaring bunch of nincompoops into power because they look like you. I made this error once in 1994 and ever since, i learned my lesson. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. If you want to continue suffering in the land of your birth, keep voting for the comrades, have at it...

[@YETI_312]

Gotta say... you're absolutely right, take it from a black person. Till today I still fail to understand why people keep voting anc and the anc lite's of this world. What frustrates me the most is seeing people my age (lower twenties) support anc, eff and mk... This is because we're clearly still a long way from having a properly literate society. You find a Varsity student campaigning for eff or anc and you just ask yourself how come that person is in Varsity but they can't clearly decipher simple politics... you don't even need to be a genius to see that our country is in shambles... This is why I have concluded that University education alone is not enough....

[@MegaNdela]

Kevin Mileham hit it on the head. Some will say he's politicising this, as an opposition member...but this can and SHOULD be put squarely at the ANC's feet.

[@mzansipunters4295]

ANC promised people free water and electricity, people voted on that notion. ANC must just refrain from interfering with eskom and cadre deployment. So much embezzment of funds by comrades.

[@cindyleehart1039]

ESKOM needs to have effective and efficient management of the running of the business. Cut down on paying their inefficient management rediculous wage increases and rather hold them accountable with their bonus on effective and efficient management.

[@williebrits6272]

But these gogos voted for ANC, but now they are complaining.

[@nkosanahlophe]

Why is the gov notifying the citizens on last minutes? The Gov failed to properly communicate this to the citizens in time, and a lack of educating the citizens about this things.

[@Tyron-u9c]

imagine over 2 million ppl havent registered when thier lights go off they cant go make plans to fix this as these centers will be closed for the holidays and thier time will be up and then there is where the problems begin imagine 2 million ppl in the streets protesting i fear the goverment are going to be in huge crises with ppl not having electricity for the holidays and going foward

[@sifisodube4686]

Crazy ANC giving people deadlines but when people go there tbings are offline incompetence of this government

[@AndrewMcFarlane_1]

Most govt workers are ANC cadres...

[@1986aurora]

​@@AndrewMcFarlane_1all are ......they have to be to get their nice paid governmental jobs and pay checks at all our expense

[@jordaansifunda1286]

Hi please let eskom give us who are illegal connected with electricity a chance to start paying because they want us to pay R6000 to R14000 in cash..Jordaan Sifunda

[@MauriceMineo]

There's no deadlines. You are all big mouths on small heads

[@loicndame5678]

there is no solution when our local brothers are doing it but let's blame the one from outside for the problem neh?

[@tokelomorake3504]

The big question is, will people afford it.

[@zulu9357]

But ministers don't pay for electricity...

[@bman977]

Thank u what do they do with Thier money we tax payers provide for Thier Housing Water and electricity Private schooling Security Car payments (BMW land cruiser and mercedes) Even fn bottle water we spend 200m a year on that

[@andrewillemse2031]

Now blaming foreigners for South Africa's illegal connections.

[@1986aurora]

Lol when white monopoly failures , or racism fails ,it's time to bring tje world foreigners into the blame game 😅

[@mzansipunters4295]

You just don't get do you? How many illegal foreigners are living is SA consuming electricity and water for free? Even if they were paying, our infrastructure is not equiped to deal with such capacity. Guys, sometimes we need to use common sense. You clearly don't know whats happening in towmships and informal settlement, hence your reasoning.

[@mjs6537]

What is cost reflective. Based on the cost of Eskom?. They have no clue how to reduce cost.

[@mzwakhegumbi]

let everyone be indemnified and start afresh as long such people make total disclosure

[@CodeNameDeep]

Mokgopa is Chastizing the people, DA is speaking on behalf of the people. Serious Politics and the ANC does not seem to be doing well! Mokgopa is so over enthusiastic and losing sight of the politics of the day. Never thought i would think Good of DA but what do i know. Imagine the Gogo who said why didn't they hire small boys who come to our houses and register the meters, Wow! A job opportunity for youth and efficiency. An Again Kevin Mileham (DA) you know your politics. ANC Thinks they know the people, if you know your people you would know about them and how to work with them, politians (especially black politicians address their constituents with arrogance like they are not supposed to feel or see it)

[@MeshackNthupi]

What is going happened next,way forward after 24, they can't leave people in the dark.they should be alternative methods

[@AM-zx4mg]

There more people helping the illegal miners n less helping these people to register

[@MsawakheG]

Eskom needs to do something about clean baseload .

[@monicaditlhage1430]

I am not working my children finished their school are not working.....where will I get that lot of money?

[@1986aurora]

I have not put my geyser on for 6 months due to the put of touch cost of electricity, thats the sacrifice we make as well as paying for pre paid power....why should those who sacrifice and pay do more for those who simply break the law and take and take and take. Id give elderly free power and places that help ppl.....not ppl who are simply saying no why must i pay, thoae neighbors MUST pay for us all....

[@kingmufasa8929]

Just put in code! No problem😂 unless you thievin😂

[@oprapotgieter4543]

After so many cadre employments luting, and people illegal and munisipalitys not paying eskom do people still want to keep the lights on with those small amount paying bills. And it comeing for months the new system. Jip this is what The goverment bread with Bee and incompeted cadre. Keep voting anc this is what the normal citizens have to deal daily ja ne.

[@1986aurora]

My meter was blocked beginning of the yr i loaded units twice it never went through. Had to call to figure out rhe meter had to ve re registered which was difficult cause i rent my place. Took about 3 days to sort out and then load power.

[@sebastiansibiya4454]

Some of us just heard of this yesterday we don't Evan know where to buy the proper electricity we buy electricity from the sumarlians and there's no 40 digit numbers on the slip we don't Evan know where to buy the proper units these ppl are silly I had so much faith in Ramagopa.

[@Questioning4u]

The deadline was build into it yha! hiring stupid people to talk about technology he could have said they need to be updated and they should send their work force to go to their house to up date the meters
