R6,000 fines in prepaid electricity meter crackdown
Eskom's data has revealed that nearly 40% of prepaid meters in some South African cities aren't vending power. This indicates significant meter fraud and guilty customers could face hefty fines and disconnections.
Speaking to SABC News, Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena said the state-owned power utility fines illegally connected customers around R6,050 and disconnects them until they pay the penalty.
