Subject: Electricity problem at Master’s Office
Dear Colleagues
Please note that there is currently a dispute between the landlord and Centlec in respect of the payment of the electricity bill for our building. As a result thereof the electricity to the Master’s Office has been cut at about 12:00 yesterday afternoon.
The landlord has promised that the situation would be rectified early today, but up to now the electricity has not yet been restored.
As a result of this we cannot at this stage respond to e-mails and telephone calls.
We have contingency plans in place to assist the public and Court papers can be served as normal.
As soon as the electricity has been restored I will inform you immediately.
For urgent matters I can be called on 083 379 5770 as I will also not be available on e-mail.
I would appreciate it if you could please inform your members accordingly.
Kind regards
Mr. J. A. du Plessis
Master of the High Court
Free State Division
