Mayor leads Operation Patela & installation of splitmeters

OUKASIE – The Operation Patela/Installation of split meters programme continued in Oukasie, led by Mayor Douglas Maimane. He was joined by the Members of the Mayoral Committee and relevant officials for the programme which targeted defaulting businesses and installation of split meters for municipal officials and councillors. The programme continues with the same approach in Damonsville this week.

Supply of electricity was cut off for businesses that were found to have tampered with supply and those that defaulted on account payments. “We have allowed the lawlessness to continue for long enough and we are now paying the price as the Municipality. It is for this reason that we must now make things right and collect what is due to the Municipality for continued uninterrupted supply of services to continue” said Maimane.
