I can advise you but I need more context.
1. Whose meters are those? The municipality, or yours i.e. sub metering, or Eskom
2. There are digital meters on the market, they tend to be pricey.

PS, if the metering is yours, please don't throw the old ones away, they're collectible (believe it or not)

Sub-meters you can get from ACDC Express
The RECHARGER brand is quite okay, they're all around the same price, R200-R400

The CONLOG BEC12 I recommend, was on special for R100 in April, I *think* they're R199 now and they have the added bonus of being NFC capable.

They are prepaid sub-meters, so that means your tenant buys electricity and the money comes into YOUR account once it's registered.

If you want to have meters that are just readable as the previous ones were, then they're a bit more expensive:
