Dear Witzenberg Residents

When the current prepaid meter software expires in 2024, any meter which has not been recoded will be unable to upload prepaid tokens, resulting in residents without electricity supply and residents will not be able to recharge their meters with new electricity tokens.

Witzenberg Municipality is set to inspect, test, and upgrade all prepaid electricity meters’ software across the Witzenberg area changing the meter coding to ensure that all encryption key numbers are reset before the October 2024 deadline.

The municipality's appointed contractor, Ontec Services will visit your neighbourhood from 19 February 2024, on weekdays from 8 AM to 7 PM.

It is important to remember that while entering any property, the municipal contractor, data collector, or any other authorized individual must present their identity card upon request from any property owner.
