"Eskom has already prepared 97% of the meters by pre-coding them, making it simple for customers to complete the process themselves.
"This do-it-yourself process requires customers to purchase credit tokens from authorised vendors, after which they will receive two sets of 20-digit codes to enter into their meters for the update."
