ZAlebs also reported that the corporate body's manager stated at the time that Phindile's failure to pay her bills would cause the body and her more problems with the local council.

"This will deplete any savings which the applicant may have and will ultimately cause the applicant to have a negative bank balance, risking a disconnection of the electricity supply, by the local municipality, to all the sections and the applicant being placed under administration.”
