Gauteng provincial government has reached an agreement with Eskom which involves a payment of R50m on Tuesday in order to stop the power utility from attaching assets of the embattled Emfuleni municipality.

Last week, vehicles and furniture belonging to the Emfuleni municipality in Vanderbijlpark were seized following a court order Eskom secured against Emfuleni over its debt to the power utility.

Currently, the 11 municipalities of Gauteng owe Eskom R2.6bn in total. Other big contributors to this debt are Rand West City with R355m and Merafong local municipality with R377m. Nationally, Eskom is owed R29bn by municipalities for electricity supply.
