NamPower will suspend power supply to a number of villages, local and regional authorities with overdue accounts next week.
“The decision was taken after continuous engagements with the affected parties to settle their outstanding accounts did not yield positive results,” a press statement released this week read.
The Villages of Maltahöhe, Bethanie, Koes, Gibeon, Kalkrand, Berseba, Tses, including Mariental, Rehoboth and the Kombat Mining town now known as Congo Namibia Trading (Pty) Ltd.
The Khomas Regional Council Settlements of Bloukrans, Hatsamas, Kanube and Groot Aub will also be out in the dark.
