Cape Town – Johannesburg’s City Power has confirmed that all prepaid meters for vending customers were successfully recoded before the deadline last night.
Teams are now assisting customers with new meter installations and replacements, the provincial power utility said during an interviews with SABC.
Pre-generated key change tokens have been prepared for non-buying customers, who are urged not to panic, Spokesperson Isaac Mangena said.
According to The Citizen, he reassured customers that meter recoding will continue beyond the 24 November TID rollover deadline, with a grace period for penalty-free assistance extended to 30 November.
“By this afternoon (Sunday) all vending pre-paid customers had their meters recoded ahead of the deadline. We have seen an influx of previously non-vending customers to our Service Delivery Centres, especially in Lenasia and Alexandra, seeking assistance ahead of tonight’s cut-off date.
“We urge the customers not to panic and rush to our offices today as our teams will still be on the ground from Monday 25 November 2024, assisting customers with replacing and installing new meters,” the report quoted Mangena as saying.
