Eskom’s NERSA-approved 18,6% electricity price hike is unfair, unaffordable, and unjust.

The City is planning to lessen reliance on Eskom’s increasingly unaffordable electricity by buying power on the open market.

The crucial second phase of Cape Town’s independent power procurement will get under way within the next month. Besides bringing more affordable power into the Cape Town grid, the aim is to provide at least four stages of load-shedding protection progressively over the next three years under the Mayoral Priority Programme to end load-shedding over time.

South Africans are being asked to pay for corruption and mismanagement at Eskom in the most unfair, unaffordable and unjust way. Eskom has alternative ways to raise funds: by reducing their bloated payroll, by cutting suppliers who are over-charging especially for sub-standard coal, and by ending corruption, including recovering state capture loot. In Cape Town, we are working flat out to end our Eskom reliance, diversify energy supply to more affordable power sources, and end load-shedding over time. We remain determined to fight for ordinary Capetonians, a staggering number of whom are struggling under the rising cost of living.

Monday Motivation -
I am a firm believer in this one, there is always such a negative stigma that surrounds the day Monday, ie Monday Blues, when in fact that is a man made myth and Mondays are actually great, and like any other day, its a time to set new goals, and reach further for the ones already set!
GET EXCITED.
