(5) After disconnection for non-payment of an account, the prescribed fees
                       and any amounts due for electricity consumed shall be paid before the
                       electricity supply is re-connected.

Interest on overdue accounts

19 The Municipality may charge interest on accounts which are not paid by
                   the due date appearing on the account, at an interest rate as approved
                   by the municipality from time to time.

Resale of electricity

20 Unless otherwise authorised by the municipality, no person shall sell or
                   supply electricity, supplied to his premises unless under an agreement with
                   the Municipality, to any other person or persons for use on any other
                   premises, or permit such resale or supply to take place. If electricity is resold
                   for use upon the same premises, such resale shall be subject to the
                   conditions laid down in the Electricity Act, 1987 (Act 41 of 1987), provided
                   that the reseller shall be permitted to recover his actual electricity cost,
                   provided further that he must substantiate these costs if called upon to do
                   so.

The price charged by the reseller to customers does not exceed the tariff
                  that would have been charged to such customers for the electricity if it had
                  been purchased from the holder of a distribution license for the area in
                  which the electricity is supplied to the customer; and

the seller has entered either into a service delivery agreement in
                  accordance with the Municipal Systems Act. (Act. 32 of 2000) (where the
                  license distributor is a municipality) that regulates the relationship between
                  the reseller and the holder of the distribution license and the obligations of
                  the reseller in respect of quality of supply to customers; and the regulator
                  has ratified the general terms and conditions of such service delivery
                  agreement.

Right to disconnect supply

21. (1) The municipality shall have the right to disconnect the supply of
                      electricity to any premises if the person liable to pay for such supply fails
                      to pay any charge due to the municipality in connection with any supply
                      of electricity which he may at any time have received from the
                       municipality in respect of such premises, or, where any of the provisions
                      of this by-law and /or the Regulations are being contravened, provided
                      the municipality has given the person 14 (fourteen) days notice to
                      remedy such contravention and the person has failed to remedy such
                      contravention after notice has been given, or, in the case of a grave risk
                      to person or property, or as envisaged in terms of Section 26 of this by-
                      law, without notice. After disconnection for non-payment of accounts
