After seven days of limited interruptions to eMalahleni and Msukaligwa Municipalities due to non-payment‚ Eskom has announced a temporary suspension.

The decision was taken on Wednesday.

“Eskom feels the pain inflicted to the members of the public and the unintended consequences of the disruption of essential services‚ in particular access to water‚” the energy utility said in a statement.

“Eskom has decided to suspend the supply interruptions with immediate effect until the 3 March 2017.

“This gesture from Eskom will allow the defaulting municipalities some time to remedy the breach and also bring some normality to the affected communities.”

Eskom warned however‚ that‚ “should the municipalities fail to remedy the breach‚ the interruptions will resume from 4 March 2017“.
