JOHANNESBURG - The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse says the National Energy Regulator of South Africa 's announcement of increased electricity tariffs is a reflection of governments lack of coherent participation in Eskom’s future.
Outa said it understands that Nersa is in a difficult position but a holistic solution between the state, Treasury and Nersa needs to be adopted. On Thursday, the regulator announced its granted Eskom a 9.4% electricity hike along with an increase of 8.1% for 2020 followed by 5.2% the following year. The organisation’s Ronald Chauke said these tariff hikes will hit the ordinary South African the hardest: "After the petrol price that happened a few days ago, it's basically unaffordable. Our costs of living are very high and everything is becoming unbearable and it's a burden for us. It will result in people not paying and that will mean Eskom will lose out on more money."
