Electricity payment
In September 2025, TUT had its electricity cut for failing to pay an outstanding R 5.8 million electricity bill. The Mayor, Nasiphi Moya, had indicated that big institutions were not exempt from paying their bills, and this action was part of “Tshwane Ya Tima” revenue-collection campaign, where businesses and households that fail to pay their municipal bills face disconnections. The reconnection was done the same day as the university's management swiftly made payment arrangements with the Mayor. The ISRC President General made a public statement during the reconnection assuring students that such will not happen again. ==See also==
