SA's electricity crisis | DA to challenge Eskom tariff hike
Opposition to Eskom's tariff hike continues. The DA files papers in court, rejecting this move, as well as blackouts.
JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance has filed court papers to interdict the implementation of the 18 percent tariff increase by the National Energy Regulator.
Eskom will get just over 18 percent for the 2023/24 financial year, and a further 12.74 percent increase for 2024/2025.
The energy regulator says it considered the current state of the economy and acknowledged the pressures on consumers and businesses.
The DA says it rejects this astronomical increase, the constant blackouts, as well as government's poor response.
