Izinkulungwane zamakhasimende aseKZN asengcupheni yokungakwazi ukuthola ugesi uma engawavuseleli amamitha awo akhokhelwayo. I-Eskom isibuyekeze isihlonzi sethokheni.
Ithi isofthiwe yamanje kumamitha evumela amadivayisi ukuthi afunde uma ithokheni isetshenzisiwe noma cha izophelelwa yisikhathi ezinsukwini ezingu-11.
“Sinamakhasimende alungisiwe angu-1.3 million KwaZulu-Natal, wonke lawa ayizigidi ezingu-1.3 afakwe amakhodi ngaphambili kumasistimu ethu. Silungise izinhlelo zethu ukuze labo abambalwa, abangaphansi kwezinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisithupha nesikhombisa kulawo makhasimende uma bethenga. esiteshini, bazothola izinombolo zabo ezinamadijithi angu-40 ngokuzenzakalelayo.”
Amamitha angazange afakwe ikhodi kabusha azongasebenzi.
UTimothy Ngcobo ongowakwa-Eskom eKZN uthi amakhasimende kumele aqale abheke ukuthi amamitha awo adinga ukulungiswa yini ngokubhala izinombolo ezithile emshinini.
Enye indlela yokuthola ikhodi ngokuthenga ithokheni kagesi kumthengisi ohloniphekile.
“Lawa makhodi afika ngamadijithi amabili esethi angu-20. Ngakho-ke, lapho bethenga amathokheni kunokuba bazokwazi ukuthatha lawo mathokheni baye ekhaya bese belayisha kumamitha abo, futhi uma amamitha abo ephethe u-1 khona-ke imitha yabo kufanele ihambe ekuthwaleni u-2.”
U-Eskom uthi wonke amamitha e-prepaid meter kufanele akhodelwe kabusha, noma ngabe uyikhasimende lakwa-Eskom noma ikhasimende elihlinzekwe ngumasipala.
Ushintsho lwamakhodi amasha okuthengisa ugesi luzokwenzeka mhla zingama-24 kuLwezi wezi-2024.
