Kaya 959 Point of View with Phemelo Motene

Electricity meter fraud in South Africa

--:--
New data suggests that roughly 40% of the prepaid electricity meters controlled by Eskom, the City of Johannesburg and eThekwini are "non-vending", which may indicate the scale of the meter fraud problem for the authorities. Several authorities may have uncovered the vast scale of prepaid electricity meter fraud in their supply areas while attempting to avoid disaster when the meters expire later this year. This means that the meters are not currently being used to vend electricity. Phemelo speaks to Eskom Spokesperson, Daphne Mokwena and City Power Senior Manager Revenue Enhancement, Nqobani Mzizi.
