Umlimi uboshiwe eRandfontein ngenxa yokuxhuma kabusha ugesi ngokungemthetho.
Ochwepheshe bakwa-Eskom baqhubeka nokunqamula izixhumi zikagesi ezingekho emthethweni ezindaweni zokulima eWest Rand.
Umphathi Jikelele wezophenyo nezokuphepha kwa-Eskom, uTembela Kulu, uxwayise ngokuthi labo abasebenzisa ugesi ngokungemthetho bazobhekana nomthetho ngokugcwele.
“Asikwazi ukuvumela abantu basebenzise ugesi bengawukhokheli,” kusho uKulu.
Ngonyaka wezimali ka-2022/23, u-Eskom uthe walahlekelwa cishe izigidigidi ezi-5 zamaRandi ngenxa yokulahlekelwa okungabangelwa ubuchwepheshe, okubandakanya izixhumi zikagesi ezingekho emthethweni, ukudlulwa kwamamitha, kanye nezinye izenzo zobugebengu ezihlobene nogesi ezindaweni ezihlinzekwa yile nkampani.
Le mikhuba engekho emthethweni, ngokusho kuka-Eskom, ifaka inkampani kagesi enkingeni enkulu yezimali.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, iphinde ithikameze ikhono lika-Eskom lokuhlinzeka ngogesi ngendlela efanele kumakhasimende ayo.
UKulu uphinde wathi kukhona izinhlelo zokuvimbela ukuxhunywa kukagesi ngokungemthetho, okubandakanya ukufakwa kwamamitha ahlakaniphile (smart meters).
