Mashishing community in Mpumalanga raise concerns over solar levies

People are going to be scared to install solar because they have to pay a levy, but on the other hand, they don’t have constant electricity supply because the municipality is running out of maintenance.” The Executive Mayor of the Thaba Chweu Local Municipality, Friddah Nkadimeng, has denied that people using solar panels will be expected to pay a solar levy and says, “We don’t, and we have not, applied any levy to anyone.

This follows allegations that the Thaba Chweu Local Municipality is in the process of implementing solar levies on individuals and businesses that are using solar panels.
