Deputy President David Mabuza has told MPs that progress has been made in addressing service delivery issues in several municipalities

Mabuza was responding to oral questions at the National Council of Provinces [NCOP] on Thursday relating to the interruption of services in KwaZulu-Natal after the devastating floods as well as issues affecting the Maluti-a-Phofung and Sol Plaaitjie municipalities.

On the service delivery issues facing the Maluti-a-Phofung municipality and Eskom, Mabuza told MPs that in June last year parliament was informed that processes were under way to finalise an agreement between the two parties. The municipality will switch off all its substations so that Eskom can switch back power without the risk of tripping and the municipality will then manage how to bring back power to its customers.

Earlier this week, Eskom said it had received a R54m payment from the Maluti-a-Phofung municipality which owes it R6.6bn for electricity used but not paid for.
