Buy electricity from Spar. You will get 3 sets of numbers. 1 to register the meter. 2 to unset it and 3 to reset it. You have to put in all 3 sets. If it does not work your meter is not legal. Municipality cannot touch those tokens.
People knew about this for a long time. I live in a small town and the whole town migrated a month ago. We are done. People who left it to the last moment have themselves to blame. This is going to make sure that everyone pays.
So here are the scenario's: If your meter is bypassed you will still have electricity through the bypassed line so this will not affect you. If you have been buying from these "ghost vendors" the codes that they are generating and selling wont work after 24 Nov. To fix this all you need to do is start buying from the city instead of these fake vendors. The first set of credits you buy from the city will have a 2nd set of codes that you need to enter to update it, thats it, nothing special you just insert the same set of numbers into the machine. The city can see these meters as registered on their systems but they have not bought electricity since the user started buying from ghost vendors. If you have been buying from the city chances are 99% your meter has already been reset, you most likely received the update code long ago with a previous purchase and you inserted it already
Chris says we can buy to any authority vendor we iam staying they said we must first buy at the certain garage first then u can buy anywhere confused 😅
Buy electricity from Spar. You will get 3 sets of numbers. 1 will register your meter. 2 will unset your meter and 3 will reset your meter to take the new numbers. You must put all 3 sets in. If it does not work your meter is not legal.
If you bypassed the meter then why bother about the meter? You think Eskom would go investigate how many of the 2.1 million are faulty or bypassed to have some clue as to the magnitude.
Rather listen to him. This is serious, any unregistered meter will not be able to have electricity. Buy from Spar. you will get 3 sets of numbers, you will have to put all 3 in. 1 will register the meter, 2 will unset the meter and 3 will reset it to take the new numbers. If it does not work you will not be able to buy electricity.
Well said Chris. The giggle alluded to the fact. It's ridiculous that we paying customers are paying through the roof for this 2.1m
Hopefully there is a country out there who wants to provide aid to poor people in South Africa who can't afford electricity...
any company that comes with cheap solar will take over
There is free electricity of 50kWh per month provided for poor people
when we buy electricity, we don't get tokens because all the money goes to the municipality to settle the areas.

Thanks for the explanation. btw dig the hair-style Chris!!
Our meters are registered but still we can't buy from the electricity vendors...what must we do then
Yes , also a problem experienced by many. What do we do ?
Same. Registered meter, we have been buying units, but we are not getting that re-coding number. Eskom chatbot says the meter doesn’t exist.
Same problem. We recoded months ago, still bought electricity beginning of the month and now we can't buy any electricity on apps or in shop.
You don't have to stand in any queue. People have bypassed the meters. That could be the only reason why the panic. Simple and straightforward.

South African mentality of not wanting to pay 🤦🏽♂️
I smell a rat

No not a glitch
.cause people don't want to pay the increased price...so you programmed the meters to consume more.
Don't talk shit
