In South Africa, there have been 2,364 new cases of Covid-19, taking the total reported to 3,645,269. Deaths have reached 97,431 , while recoveries have climbed to 3,511,001, leaving the country with a balance of 36,837 active cases and a recovery rate of 96,3%. A total of 30,701,325 vaccines have been administered.

We have not yet reached cost-reflective pricing despite double-digit increases in SA electricity prices. It is also expected that fees will be charged across the generation, transmission and distribution companies – including for businesses and households who are mostly self-sufficient or generate their own power.
