Six sectional units of a large retail park in the north of Pretoria will have to source power from alternative sources after the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) recently overruled a high court decision ordering Tshwane to restore the centre’s power supply.
The case was brought by a company called Vresthena, which owns multiple units in the centre that had its power cut off by the metro over millions of rands worth of unpaid municipal bills.
The City of Tshwane has welcomed the Supreme Court of Appeal’s judgement, which set aside an order by the Gauteng Division of the High Court, interdicting the City from implementing its Credit By-Laws and terminating the electricity supply to the Zambezi Retail Park Centre.
