Johannesburgs City Power says over 99 of its vending pre-paid meters have been upgraded.
This comes as customers rush to beat the Sunday deadline for meters to be upgraded.
City Power says from today its Service Delivery Centres across Johannesburg will remain open until 7pm to address the backlog of people whose meters need upgrading.
City Power spokesperson, Isaac Mangena says, We are now left with 1 001 customers requiring upgrades. Out of those outstanding customers, 562 are in Alexandra where our technicians are still facing some reluctance from customers.
Mangena adds, However, we have noticed that the majority of those customers who are refusing to give us access into their properties are opting to visit our Service Delivery Centres, to seek assistance with upgrades. We also have about 255 meters outstanding in Midrand.
