molware electricity **** unit 157

I started staying here 2021 Feb,when I moved in I noted the water is always hot even tho the geyser switch is off.Being someone who is lazy to switch the geyser on n off I decided to leave it as is not knowing today this will cause my worst nightmare.The bill became unbearable as I was home for 2 weeks to fine r400 electricity gone,I decided to report it as this was just too much.i am now being told that the switch was tempered with and I must pay to fix it.so they are indirectly insinuating that I tempered with the switch?to what benefit as I spend at minimum r700 on electricity per month n mind u I stay alone n I can go a month with only cooking once.wht would I temper with a meter n wait more than a year to report it when the bill is not favoring me? No investigations, just mere unfounded conclusions that I tempered with a meter....why would I temper with a meter only to pay more electricity than the average person who cooks...I can't believe anyone in their right senses would accuse me of tempering with something that does not favour me...so I am being crucified for not reporting really,I am being crucified for being the one who was wasting my own money on huge bills..anyway the law says he who alleges must prove ,since they allege I tempered let them prove I tempered and to what benefit? It is clear maintenance probably diverted the cable for the person staying here before me n such diversion did not affect electricity consumption,why I should be a sacrificial lamb for that is what I don't get..
