“Nersa is no longer an independent Energy Regulator as stipulated in the relevant statue. The politicians have for a very long time been leaning on Nersa to grant tariff increases that can never be substantiated. In the last 10 years electricity tariffs in South Africa have increased by a whopping 753%. There is no economy anywhere that can remain competitive that can continue to industrialise with such electricity tariff increases.

“Very much the expectation would be that the tariffs would increase because there are limited options from Eskom’s side to recover their cost. There is government support that they can receive which we know is limited then they can recover some of their costs from municipalities in terms of some of their debts that is owed to them.

How could Nersa allow Eskom to increase the price while we as citizens live in dark city .just imagine stage 6 ijoooo .they don't care bcs they can't see it only us poor people wil suffer 😏

Eskom_SA you can keep increasing the cost to customers, it's NOT going to solve the problem! To get more money in you operations you need to get rid of the people INSIDE stealing it! It's not the inflow that's the problem it's the outflow!!!!!

Guys bring back Guptas, or we will end up with nothing. Remember Guys we are still eating the While of the white.
