Eskom threatens power cuts in Free State

Eskom is warning it will cut power to two Free State municipalities because of non-payment.

The power utility says the Tokologo and Nala municipalities could face power cuts for up to six hours a day from Wednesday.

It’s also threatening to increase the hours to 14 hours if there’s no payment by the 24 July.
