Last week we convened a high-level discussion with various agricultural stakeholders in Pretoria to reflect on our preparedness for the upcoming El Niño drought.

The @FarmersWeeklySA has published a brief from our meeting.

@WandileSihlobo We find ourselves where we are because we failed to properly manage the electricity price.

@thyphoidjack One flew past me at Nyl plaza toll gate after AAD. It was so cool seeing it outside an airshow.

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@Lerutla_shelton He is awesome. That pass for goal No 5 was pure class.

@Eskom_SA @mteton @esk @Eskom_SA @mteton What is NTL is doing is like being given a speeding ticket without the seeing proof from speeding camera. Also don't understand why these so called "smart" meters can't reject illegal tokens.

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@Eskom_SA @mteton This meter has been a problem from the day 1.
Maybe it's not even sending the right info back to @esk

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

I volunteered to switch from post paid to prepaid smart meter. I deeply regret getting a smart meter. Hopefully the residents of Tshino/Nesengani area will have more joy than me.

I chose to go the smart metering route thinking it would be better. I was wrong.

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@Eskom_SA @mteton Have sent proof of payment to NTL email address. Hoping that they will open the email this time around and reconnect the meter. They haven't replied to emails sent last year.

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@mteton My meter got disconnected due to alleged use of 3 illegal tokens. This is at a rental property. Thought the new smart meters rejected illegal tokens. I don't have an option but to pay the R11 k fine get power back. Also no one can tell me when the 3 tokens were used.

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@Eskom_SA NTL says 3 illegal tokens were used in my meter yet they don't provide the date when the tokens were used.If you are accusing me of using these tokens send the evidence.Also are the new smart meters not supposed to reject illegal tokens?@mte

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

Sounds good until NTL disconnects the meter and ignore your emails.

@Eskom_SA How long should I wait for a response from NTL? I sent the first email in September 2025 and still not answer. I have had no power for almost a week now.

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@LuckyMthethwa9 @Eskom_SA They never reply. I sent them an email in August last year. I am still waiting for an answer. The call centre says there is a backlog. @mteton. This seems like punishment rather than addressing the "alledged meter tempering or pirate tokens.

I’ve taken the cudgels against many a country and government (Mubikwa) critic when abroad. I often invoke Churchill who said: “When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home."

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@donaldbheki @Eskom_SA Also having the same problem..I regret going prepaid. Call centre says the tokens bought through banking apps and from shops are pirate tokens.

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@MoneydopeSta @Eskom_SA Did they come back to you? I also have the same problem. Been sending emails since last week.

[Fhatuwani @gr8miner]

@Eskom_SA My prepaid meter has been disconnected since Tuesday. The call centre gave me a email to check what the issue is. I have sent numerous emails but got no answer. Is there a number I can call to get the meter reconnected? Ref no is 1218343158 @mteton
