Eskom has pushed back its Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA) consultation deadline by a further 30 days for the disputed City of Johannesburg/City Power electricity account. The extension gives affected parties extra time to submit input before Eskom makes any administrative move on the matter.
For investors, the pause matters because the outcome could influence Eskom’s immediate cash collection prospects and its recovery of arrears from a major municipal customer. Extended consultations can also signal prolonged uncertainty around disputed billing, payment arrangements or potential write-offs—factors that touch on Eskom’s revenue stability and credit profile.
Stakeholders should watch for follow-up announcements that set a new final date or outline any provisional arrangements for service or payments. For those wanting the primary source, see the full announcement: the full announcement.
