Only 300 000 Eskom prepaid meters still to be precoded before November deadline

State-owned power utility Eskom says 6.6-million out of its 6.9-million prepayment meters have successfully been precoded to ensure that customers will be able to continue to seamlessly buy electricity beyond the November 24 deadline. This is the cut-off date for all prepaid meters in South Africa to be recoded to continue to accept prepaid tokens.
