A Special General Meeting of the Warmbad Renaissance Management
Association was held in the Nes on 15 April 2021 (see photo above and note the
social distancing!) to consider the possible changeover from the current
electricity supply system where electricity is billed and paid for on a
post-usage basis, to a prepaid system where users would have to buy units in
advance to have access to electricity.
In terms of the Sectional Title Schemes
Management Act, the conversion required a majority of 75% of members of the
Association (or their proxies) present at the meeting.
The meeting was informed that the total cost of
the conversion would amount to approximately R323 000. Should the proposal be
adopted, the cost would be funded from our reserve funds. It was further
emphasised that the installation would be done by the municipality on an all or
nothing basis.
After a brief discussion the meeting resolved
that prepaid electricity meters should not be installed in our village.
