Elundini charges R371.92 a month on this tariff, VAT included, whatever you use, and your prepaid purchases pay it first. If the whole month’s charge comes off your first purchase, your first R100 of the month buys no units at all, and R271.92 of the charge is still owed from your next purchase. Municipalities collect it in different ways, some a little with every purchase. Your till slip shows what was taken.
