The City of Tshwane (CoT) on Monday morning cut the electricity supply Sunway and Refentse.

Tshwane mayor Dr. Nasiphi Moya said that the CoT had crossed the provincial border to Hartbeespoort to cut the electricity supply .
“Madibeng has owed us for a long time,” she said. The municipality currently owes CoT R17 million.
She said the CoT is back with the Tshwane Ya Time revenue-collection programme. “We have asked our customers to pay. We need the money to pay our service providers,” she said.
Kormorant reported last year that the Madibeng Municipality owed the CoT R208 million. According to CoT spokesperson Lindela Mashigo at the time, the CoT had not yet implemented any credit control measures such as cutting electricity supply. “Madibeng Local Municipality’s indebtedness to the City of Tshwane is R208 million after a payment of R10 million was received,” Mashigo said.
Madibeng spokesperson Tumelo Tshabalala said the municipality had engaged with the COT and would be making the necessary payments.
The municipality has not responded to Kormorant’s enquiry about whether any payments have been made since.
