Matjhabeng Municipality Notice of Electricity interruption: Eskom shutdown, areas affected are Odendaalsrus
OPERATION PATALA IN FULL SWING.
The Matjhabeng Local Municipality is intensifying Operation Patala, with electricity and water disconnections targeting
residents, landlords, and businesses who owe the Municipality large amounts due to non-payment of services.
Yesterday, the Operation Patala team focused on residential areas that have been converted into rental properties and
student accommodations. Action was also taken against those who bypass water and electricity meters, as well as
households with outstanding debts....
The Municipality urges all residents to make payment arrangements and settle their accounts to avoid disconnections.
Follow-ups were also conducted on households visited last week, where illegal reconnections were discovered. Offenders
were fined, with a clear warning that repeated illegal reconnections will result in complete service termination.
Today, the operation continues in Virginia and will progressively extend to other areas as part of the Municipality’s
revenue recovery campaign.
Every rand counts towards reliable service delivery. Pay your dues and avoid disconnection.
