Ramokgopa has acknowledged that the high price of electricity is hitting hard on households
Electricity and Energy Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has acknowledged that the high price of electricity is hitting hard on both low-income and middle-class households.
The MPs said they’re concerned about the high price of electricity in the country and the massive tariffs that are approved by NERSA. They want government to intervene and minimize the devastating impact that the hikes are having on households and the economy. “The tariffs that are up now just worried that businesses will face increased operational cost which might lead to higher prices for consumers and that will have job cuts and businesses close,” says ANC MP Vusumuzi Nkosi.
