This comes after he, for the first time, ran out of electricity units for two consecutive months and had to buy almost R1 000 worth of extra units during this time.
If that’s the case, David Geers asks whether the municipality would have been paying back the money of which someone possibly stole from him while using his units freely.
In June, he had to buy another R1 000 of units and in July R700.
The last time he bought electricity units at a local store, a different surname allegedly popped up on the system under his prepayment meter number.
According to the Ekurhuleni metro spokesperson, Themba Gadebe, the matter was resolved with Geers on Monday, September 1, by one of the EMM’s vending administrators.
“There was no duplication of meters on the system, and there will not be any back billing costs involved,” says Gadebe. – @IschkeBoksburg
