Eskom Debt | Tshwane says it's making daily payments

JOHANNESBURG - The City of Tshwane is calling out embattled power utility Eskom over allegations of not paying its debt.

It comes after Eskom accused the metro of failing to pay an amount of R1.6-billion.

Tshwane says it has paid almost R500-million, bringing its debt to R1.1-billion.

It also says it's making daily payments to reduce the debt.

The city says it has submitted a payment arrangement proposal which is standard practice.

But, Eskom says it has rejected that proposal and will now head to Treasury over the issue.
