EFF to challenge MidCity in court over disputed smart meter installations in Palm Court, claiming illegal electricity disconnections.
The EFF in Tshwane is ready to go to court to help residents from Palm Court in Sunnyside, Pretoria, following the adverse response to their memorandum of demands from MidCity property group.
“The statutory procedure has not been followed and the installation of pre-paid electrical meters has not been appropriately authorised,” he said. Van der Merwe asked that the trustees being represented by the EFF be identified to address the concerns raised in the memorandum that was handed over last week.Political analyst Piet Croucamp said he couldn’t blame political parties for taking up the case of poor people.“The thing about South Africa as long as there is 40% unemployment, as long as there are distinct levels of poverty, services such as electricity and water will be a massive burden to those people,” he said.
“One has to understand the case of the municipality and the metros, they pay for the electricity to Eskom, otherwise the taxpayers need to cough up the difference and then it becomes a complicated political matter,” he said.
