Yes i did acted on the report and instruction to buy electricity before the 24th and keep the slip to be helped with after the 24th, but was unsuccessful. The reason the machine reported said the meter number is unregisteted. My metre is blocked just from nowhere. I went to buy electricity to a different place at the garage; that was for the second time buying there when I come back the meter couldn't accept the numbers.
There are cases were clients logged queries and technicians came and bridged the meter because the meter was faulty and were supposed to come back to replace meter and never came back. Clients did not call back as they had electricity and technicians for reasons unknown did not come back to complete the fix. In these instances i have heard that after a year or two when there is other problems technicians came back and found out that about the entire saga and fixed without any consequences. But who's fault is it and why is it hapening and why is it so rife?
My baby's nanny said this is exactly what happened in her case. She's very honest and I could tell she was sincere. She says that when she. Got her RDP house about 20 years ago, she had a meter And one day it just stopped working, she says there's a teddy with a sad face on it 😂🙏(not funny but I just can't deal) she said it wasn't accepting the tokens, she went to the municipality, they checked her meter and it was faulty, she says they connected her and she could see it was some nonsense connection, and she was afraid she'd get into trouble... but she says they were def. Technicians from the municipality, she says from city power. She is terrified of what will happen. And it looks like we going to be paying a fine there...but essentially it was people in authority making these illegal connections possible in some cases.
They said if you buy a voucher it will have the 2 key tokens on it. Rather try that and see if it works. If it doesn't then make sure to call and query it. As long as you do that before the deadline you shouldn't have problems.
@@veronical182 What about if you use an app? There's just inadequate explanation no matter how try you try to follow the explanation? How long is "long time ago?' A month ago...two months ago? What if i buy electricity to cover me for 3 months?
Now they fighting cause the free electricity is stopping. Go to spar, shoprite etc and get legal electricity and you will automatically get your token. Follow the instructions and boom you're sorted.
Understanding correctly, after 24 Nov and my meter has not been converted, it becomes a plastic paperweight and needs replacement. Nobody buys prepaid towards the end of the month since the tariffs are unaffordable.
@@rredington305 you can buy a voucher for a small amount to get the codes to update your meter. Surely that's a better option than having to get a new meter??
I always buy from banking appa but I have never received the coding token. Tried to buy from PnP and Spar and it rejected. I went to a garage got my token but not the coding tokens. I can't get through to Eskom so I'm just in the dark about what to do next.
My meter is reflecting 42000KW over the last 8 years. You telling me that instead of spending +-R100,000.00 on tokens, I could have only paid a fine of R6500 had I bridged the meter? Sounds fair
@@PureWater-w7c if everyone pays, the cost of electricity will go down, prices are high because we are not just paying for our own power but also for our neighbours
@@shasha023 the cost won't go down. Eskom is trying to get nersa to approve a fixed monthly charge for all households just to have access to electricity, nevermind the actual cost of electricity as well. City power already implemented it on all prepaid users.

I have the same problem, and they keep referring me to "Alfred" but Alfred is unhelpful. This is frustrating.

The paying citizens are feeling the pinch. While they enjoyed free electricity we were paying. And eskom did put out this warning a long time ago.
It's like they just decide...and then give a short deadline...
"Non- buying" - just a fancy word for illegal?
When the slip says krn 2 but the Meter doesn't show 2 its shows 1/2 what does it mean?
Some of the vendors electricity doesn't go through ...
We still awaiting for the sms from Eskom with the 40 numbers my mom went to update her details since 7 November

Wat about disable people who live far away
Being disabled doesn't mean you can steal!
Please extend the date for register
Why don't you buy a voucher to get the numbers?
you had a year to do this
Please rather stop stealing and pay for electricity! Tsek wena!
@@dudungwenya3364 we pay for our electricity and this was announced late last year, you need to speak to the programmed computers.
There is no extension, the machine has a built-in expiry date. You can't ask it nicely to not do the thing it was built to do.
What about us who's meter is not working?
wena, you are stealing electricity
Hey guys i just wanted to be sure. If we buy electricity weekly. Our meter was provided by the municipality. We do not need to re-register?
They're supposed to arrest these people for stealing electricity!
U are ignorant

Hence why the recoding started a year ago.
Precoding started in 2023, Zero buyers are people that have not purchased electricity for at least the last 3 months.
Thank you for the code.
Im buying eletricity shall I bring all the meter number and receipt to
Wena, when did you last buy electricity? Stop stealing tsotsi!
Are banking apps registered vendors?
Yes, I always buy through Capitec and my wife FNB
Yes. And I got my upgrade code from my bank.

Can I buy electricity ONLINE for somebody to activate his or her meter before 24th ? Or you need to buy only on vendors?
