I short paid my municipal account to STLM for May 2023 by accident, and they deducted, I believe highly *******ly, the short payment from my next electricity purchase (on 2 Aug 2023). This is the first time, in more than 12 years, that I have not paid my municipal account in full. I also have a prepaid electricity meter, so never ever can any recoveries or deductions be made on electricity payments, as those are isolated from all other municipal services by being prepaid. So short payments on municipal taxes, refuge, etc. may not be recovered via electricity payments. The services have no relation, which is why I am considering legal action agains STLM. I think the ANC is wrong in thinking that third party fund recovery is within their purvue.
