Capturing the Heart & Soul of the Bay
COUNCIL APPROVES AMNESTY PERIOD IN RESPECT OF METER TRANSGRESSIONS
By BylineAdmin on September 29, 2014
The Town Council of Mossel Bay at a Special Council Meeting on 12 September 2014 approved an amnesty period of six months until 15 February 2015 for the reinstallation of electricity meters, which were removed because they were either tampered with or bypassed. The tampering fee in this regard will also be waived during the amnesty period.
Where electricity meters can be re-used a charge of R125, plus VAT, will be levied to cover the installation costs thereof. If a meter is damaged a charge of R575, plus VAT, shall be levied to cover the cost of replacing the meter and installation costs. These charges may be recovered in cash or through auxiliary payments on the customer’s accounts.
Alderman Jim van der Merwe, Chairperson of the Finance Committee of Council, said the Municipality will also install split-type prepayment meters with separate control and customer interface units to prevent tampering with the meters. The estimated cost to the Municipality of the installation of such meters is R634 000.
He appealed to all consumers with illegal connections to make use of this opportunity offered to them by Council to legalise their electrical connections.
“Although the illegal use of electricity is illegal in terms of the Electricity Regulation Act, 2006, as well as the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993, there is a continuous loss or revenue to the Municipality due to the theft of electricity by way of illegal electrical connections in the Mossel Bay municipal area. The Municipality has over the past three years disconnected approximately 1 200 electrical connections.
“Certain households are also reselling electricity illegally to their neighbours at exorbitant rates, while cables and wires are also laid dangerously across streets and public spaces, putting the safety of especially small children at risk.
“Municipal meters and distribution boxes are continuously vandalised for the illegal tapping of electricity, while continuous power interruptions are encountered in some low voltage networks due to overload conditions caused by the illegal activities.”
RAAD KEUR TOEGEWINGS AAN DEERNIS- EN ARM HUISHOUDINGS GOED
By BylineAdmin on September 29, 2014September 29, 2014
Die Mosselbaaise Stadsraad het op ‘n Spesiale Raadsvergadering op 12 September 2014 goedkeuring verleen dat die getal gratis eenhede vir arm huishoudings van 20 eenhede tot 50 eenhede per maand verhoog word. Dit beteken dat arm en deernishuishoudings nou dieselfde hoeveelheid gratis elektrisiteit per maand sal ontvang.
Terselfdertyd sal die gemiddelde elektrisiteitsverbruik oor die voorafgaande vier maande om vir die maandelikse subsidie op diensterekeninge van deernis en arm huishoudings te kwalifiseer, verhoog word van 400 eenhede per maand tot 650 eenhede waar daar ‘n agterplaaswooneenheid is, en dit deur ‘n ander huishouding sonder ‘n elektrisiteitsmeter bewoon word.
“Tot dusver was die situasie dat huishoudings op eiendomme waarop daar ‘n woonhuis en ‘n bewoonde agterplaaseenheid sonder ‘n elektrisiteitsmeter is hul subsidie of kon verbeur, of nie daarvoor gekwalifiseer het nie as die gemiddelde elektrisiteitsverbruik oor ‘n tydperk van vier maande 400 eenhede oorskry het. Dit is om hierdie mense tegemoet te kom dat die nuwe perk ingestel is,” sê Raadsheer Jim van der Merwe, voorsitter van die Stadsraad se Finansieskomitee.
Hy het gesê die Raad is terdeë bewus daarvan dat elektrisiteit baie duur is, en hoewel die Raad probeer om die tariewe so laag as moontlik te hou, word die pryse ongelukkig deur Eskom bepaal. Die Raad probeer egter om op hierdie wyse verligting vir arm en deernishuishoudings te bring. Die perk van 400 eenhede elektrisiteit sal egter steeds geld waar daar slegs een huishouding op ‘n eiendom is.
Die Munisipaliteit subsidieer die diensterekeninge van deernis- en arm huishoudings met ‘n bedrag van R404,79, plus BTW, per maand.
Om by aansoek as ‘n deernishuishouding geregistreer te word, mag die totale huishoudelike inkomste nie meer as twee keer die Staatsouderdompensioen beloop nie. Vir registrasie as ‘n arm huishouding mag die totale huishoudelike inkomste nie meer as R5 000 per maand wees nie.
In albei gevalle mag die gemiddelde elektrisiteitsverbruik nie meer as 400 eenhede en die gemiddelde waterverbruik nie meer as 15 000 liter oor die voorafgaande vier maande beloop het nie. Die nuwe toegewing maak egter nou daarvoor voorsiening dat die gemiddelde elektrisiteitsverbruik 650 eenhede kan wees ten opsigte van eiendomme waarop daar tans ‘n agterplaaseenwooneenheid sonder ‘n elektrisiteitsmeter is.
Die Mosselbaaise Munisipaliteit is sover bekend die enigste Munisipaliteit in die land wat, benewens deernishuishoudings, ook ‘n kategorie vir arm huishoudings het. Hoewel die subsidie vir deernishuishoudings uit Staatsbydraes gefinansier word, wend die Munisipaliteit sy eie fondse aan vir die subsidiëring van arm huishoudings. •

For everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about”.
‘n Glimlag of ‘n kompliment kan jou dag maak.
Nou hoekom vergeet ‘n mens dit so maklik ?
Hoekom is ons skaars met komplimente uitdeel, hoekom wys ons nie meer vir die mense om ons, ons waardeer hulle nie? Waardeer wat hulle doen, maak nie saak hoe gering nie.
Komplimenteer iemand wat mooi lyk en wys waardering vir ‘n goedbedoelde gebaar.
Betoon liefde teenoor jou geliefdes, gee drukkies, sê dit en wys dit.
Toets dit gerus. Loop in die straat af, of kyk na die dikwels strak gesigte in die motors op die pad na waar….elkeen besig met sy eie gedagtes en eie probleme.
Nou loop met ‘n glimlag en ‘n huppel in jou stap en sien hoe die gesigsuitdrukkings verander. So opvallend !
Dalk in sommige gevalle is dit die enigste glimlag wat die persoon daai dag sal ontvang.
Wees bedagsaam en dink tweemaal voordat jy kwaad of ongeduldig raak.
Niks kom by die vreugde van dankbaarheid, wat wys op die gesigte van iemand wat ‘n onverwagte maar opregte kompliment ontvang het nie.
Maak iemand se dag met iets wat niks kos…gee ’n glimlag of ‘n kompliment !
