Western Cape train station power cuts message is false, Eskom says
4 March 2020
A message circulating via WhatsApp claiming that five Western Cape train stations will be disconnected as a result of non-payment is false, according to Eskom.
The message reads: "Prasa have failed to pay their arrears by the deadline we set, which was 28 February. We are thus proceeding with disconnections until they pay.
"The disconnection of services will affect their railway facilities/stations in these areas, of Glencairn, Vasco - Goodwood, Firgrove, Nonkqubela station and Diepriver Station (sic)."
However, Eskom flatly denied the veracity of the message.
