NATIONAL NEWS - Eskom has confirmed it will be cutting electricity supply to two municipalities in the North West this morning for non-payment.
Power was supposed to be cut off to five municipalities but the parastatal says some officials have made special arrangements for late payment.
The Naledi and Ventersdorp municipalities supply was due to be off until 8:30am.
Twenty-two municipalities in the Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, Free State, North West and Mpumalanga owe the electricity giant money.
Earlier this month, the High Court in Pretoria granted Eskom permission to cut power supply to eight municipalities as it tries to recover billions of rand in debt.
Eskom interim CEO Matshela Koko says they are going to be tough on municipalities who are refusing to pay up.
