Eskom has lost two appeals related to a high court ruling setting aside its decision to cut off power supply to two Mpumalanga municipalities – Thaba Chweu and Emalahleni.
The Supreme Court of Appeal s (SCA) deputy president Xola Mlungisi Petse delivered judgment electronically on Tuesday. The SCA dismissed Eskom s two appeals but upheld an appeal by the Thaba Chweu local municipality relating to a cost order. All three appeals were heard together - for convenience, even though they were lodged separately over two days in August.
