The initial November 24 deadline was extended after some meter owners experienced difficulties in changing over.


In a statement, Eskom appeals to users to regularise their account and to buy electricity from legal vendors.

The utility warns that failure to regularise accounts at Eskom centres by Friday, could result in fines of up to R12 000,00.
