Prepaid Meters | EC communities want Eskom to extend deadline
With less than 48 hours until the deadline for prepaid electricity users to re-code their meters, some residents in the rural town of Ngqeleni in the Eastern Cape want power utility Eskom to extend the deadline. The villagers say they were given short notice to comply. Some claim they were not even aware of the re-coding of their meters.

I have GT a rechargeable box it's NT excepting my coupon wht must I do now
We all knew 3 years ago.
This is confusing about deadline "extensions". I thought this was an in-built coding issue that forcefully expires at a point in time. Everyone though in the video, is asking for an extension – is this really possible? If not (as I understand it), that needs to be made very clear every time this is reported on. As I understood it, there is no technical possibility off an extension. But another valid point made, is we as an entire population no longer all watch The News at 8. Communication channels need to be diversified.
The meter has been bypassed..buy legit electricity and you wont have a problem…..

You poor people in the Eastern Province must really get rid of your Provincial Government. They don't care about you. They don't care to help spread the info into the rural areas. Really!!!
ignorant comments. this only received media attention before the deadline. where's the lie? inefficient and wrong for a nationwide project
But in dome areas pple were turned back saying their problems will be sorted out next year, what does it mean?
Why are the meters so dirty?
It's going to be a " dead" line for sure.
😂😂😂
How is this a customers problem when they were supplied the meters
But you voted for anc and eff and mk..suffer you're ignorant bunch
Their is a big difference between "No extension will be granted" and "No extension can be granted"
We knew last year…n if we buy electricity feom registered retailers we shouldn't worry
Guys, why does that meter look like it's open at the back. 😊
The ones steal electricity want to extend the dead line
OUR CHILDREN CAN'T EVEN WATCH TV 😂😂😂😂
Most South Africans do NOT PAY ANYWAY…"its FREEEE" most of Soweto do not pay.. It gets written OFF. ANd that is a FACT. 🤷🤦🤷♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🤷
So whatever happening in Uganda also is happening in South Africa. I salute Africa presidents ganging up to give problems to citizens 😅😅😅😅😅
Eskom should have sent officials to the villages long ago, write urgent notice in local official languages outside all their offices so that if a person missed the message they can seenit themselves when they go to the offices. All they did was speak English with journalist. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE CAMPAIGN. ESKOM MANAGEMENT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION!
+90% of villagers pay for their electricity
There can not be an extention. The box will shut down like it was intended. Its hard coded to do that. You cant ask a machine to do thr impossible.
Honestly they should extend it
Yes i agree with the recoding i don't mind about it but our government did not inform the public for this to be known.
The Eastern Cape of South Africa, what a big surprise.
It cannot be extended cos its computer controlled, if you steal or tamper with the metrr you pay R6000.
