Summary:
Eskom has announced plans to request a massive electricity tariff increase of 36.15% for direct customers and 43.55% for those supplied by municipalities in 2025. This steep hike will burden South African households, businesses, and local economies, potentially pushing many into deeper financial distress. Cape Town's Mayor and various municipalities have voiced strong opposition, highlighting the detrimental impact on low-income families, small businesses, and the broader economy. This is your chance to join the fight—stand up and make your voice heard by opposing this unaffordable increase.
