- Cash-strapped South African consumers will have to tighten their belts yet again.
They will start to pay more for electricity from today when Eskom effects its 12-point-74 percent electricity tariff increase.
Chief economist of the Efficient Group, Dawie Roodt, shares his thoughts.

This is necessary to pay for the minister of electricity, all his cars, his 30 bodyguards, 12 car blue light motorcade, 4 homes, backup generators, traveling perks, five-star hotels, 5-star restaurants...etc....
I purchased pre-paid electricity on Saturday for R800, and got 251.7 kWh. Yet the month before paid R700 for 260 kWh! 😡 It makes me so angry. Paying more, and getting less. I detest the ANC, but hate ANC voters more. Wish there was a stronger word than hate to describe my utter resentment towards every single person who votes ANC. There is no excuse.
Why not rather tell us how any other political party is going to fix this mess????
@@truth-Hurts375 Yes, I knew it wouldn't take long for an ANC voter to appear. Why don't you just admit that you vote ANC!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@truth-Hurts375 They could fix it by firing all the corrupt and incompetent people hired by the ANC.
@@truth-Hurts375 Lol you sound like one of the corrupt people benefitting from ANC corruption. So your response is not surprising. It would take me too long to explain how any other party (except EFF and MK) would fix Eskom, but more importantly they will fix it simply because THEY WANT TO. ANC does not care about fixing Eskom as they do not care about South Africans. They only care about stealing and lining their pockets before the country collapses.
Always remember the majority of ANC Voters are the poor who make up the majority of the population and the poor don't pay for electricity under the indigenous act. So no amount of hate will relieve your insomnia but rather add to it.
This year I will definitely vote, but NOT for ANC or MK nkandla!!!
People!!! We’ve been given the chance to fix this. Let’s vote wisely now neh……please mense.
Indeed people must vote wisely because U get what you vote for 😂😂😂
You'll know what to do people. Vote the ANC out! We the people have the power to change this country.
They won't get my vote looters
We pay for load shading , this is unfair. That is why people can 't manage to pay electricity, No jobs in Gauteng food , petrol ,water and education, what kind of government is this ?
Now is the time to tell us how any other government is going to fix this mess....
Unfortunately the goverment that the majority of SA voted for. The truth is this, the SA population is suffering as a result of bad choices by this current government. And if the SA population are to find a way to succeed and overcome these problems, we actually have to stand together, as these problems affect us ALL. Time will tell if the SA population CAN actually work together, instead of bickering amongst each other, as our polititions want us to do, and steer our focus away from the issues at hand.
@truth-Hurts375 koko fixed it before you arrested him,now he has won that case still
@@truth-Hurts375They've got NO CHOICE anymore. Now in the THIN EDGE OF THE WEDGE - mammoth task ahead: HOW TO EXTRICATE THE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED CADRES?.
yoooh south africa you are finished because of people who voted for ANC 😮
No improvement in supply but NERSA doesn't hold eskom accountable!
Disgusting. Exacerbating SO many problems while supporting a failing , corrupt NON-PROVIDER. This amounts to a human rights violation!
What really burns me is that a R300 electricity voucher for a prepaid meter gives me only R235 worth! A whopping R45/15% goes to Tax, and then there's a R20 service fee on top of that! Why do we not hear any politicians calling for tax exemption, even if only for pensioners and the like?? It's really, really disgusting how South Africans suffer under this virus of a regime!
Don't forget that home owners pay the municipalities a Levi "service fee on their rates and taxes 2 😢
Anc needs 2 go
Things are gonna get worse if ANC in in govern for another 5 years
7 cartels are making R1m per day! How is that fair?
Reptilians don't care about us
The sad part in all this is that no party has any idea how to curb inflation and solve our economic problems. The social grants, the big payments to politicians who really don't do anything cannot be sustained. We need a wholistic review of economic policy in South Africa. Helen Zille is on to something pointing out that there are 7M tax payers against 20M grant recipients ...
Stop talking rubbish....all people pay tax...whether its income tax plus GST or GST only.All people who earn up to R95 000 p/a and pensioners up to R124 000 do not pay income tax....do your maths on GST ...or are you to stupid to do that ????
The DA focuses it's economic policies on making the country business friendly which in turn creates more jobs and makes people less dependent on handouts and increase the tax base.
The DA , however , doesn't control economic policy as the are in the minority.
Unfortunately , the majority prefer to vote for parties that promise them more free stuff paid for by someone else.
They increased the prices yesterday not today, I bought electricity of R1000 as usual and it was 316.4kWh which was the 31st of March and on the 12th March I had bought R1000 and I got 422kWh. I thought I was taking advantage of the last day of March but they hiked them the day before. I swear I am working to install solar and go off-grid plus my neighbour is off-grid. And what’s worse is that there will be more price hikes and more illegal connections from this horrible mess. I’m so bloody angry 😡. Hiking prices the day before, Eskom should be sued but I guess one won’t get a thing since they have nothing😡🤬🖕🏿.
Stop buying expensive cars and put in solar !!!
Or stop complaing !!!!
@@katisop5991 I’ll do so but I doubt I’ll get help anywhere. I’ll email NERSA and ask them why such a fraud but I am not optimistic.
@@truth-Hurts375sounds like YOU don't mind Your money being Stolen by ťhï§ Government 🤯
Even if u are off grid these idiots still want to charge u every month a fee
@@rodgersgounden1315 that’s the sad part especially since more people are installing solar panels. Sometimes I feel like just going to rural areas and starting over plus I love farming I’ll grow what I can grow and buy what I can’t. Eskom is just abusive to us all.
Looting Part II loading, when people truly finally got nothing more to give
Load shedding is a scam to make us pay more
Vote ANC out
This is really bull. This gov has failed the South Africans. How do people live ? Sickening and disgusting.
Eskom se push! a Competitive open market is needed asap.
You are out of you mind....Stop buying flashy cars and put in solar !!!!
😂
This is bullshit meanwhile we having loadshedding everyday and now they are increasing the price mxm this country it so useless
Govt departments & institutions owe billions in money for electricity to Eskom but ppl rather focus on the poor in townships not paying. The rich & poor does not pay for electricity so the working & middle class hass to bear the brunt of ever increasing prices. We are in h3ll.
Vote for the DA
Despicable!!!!!!!
What's the use of the Minister of electricity??
I'd to understand NERSA processes. Being an outsider they seem strange to me.
There must really be something done,to help the people, under the middle class, because if there's not going to be a type of Lifeboat, like,Debts up to R 30/50 Thousand , to be written off, then I can only foresee a Looting spree coming, because people don't have Food to eat...Civil War 😢
Thank you to all the ANC voters. Please change your votes. Your ANC is making you poor and suffering.
Yes everything goes up...and the only thing going down is the rain😂😂
Electricity supply industry has natural monopolistic components, the price of electricity cannot and will never be determined by the market
Precisely. I know the man is educated but that was a poor take honestly.
Well said Dawie!
I have a pre paid recharger meter....it's absolutely expensive I used to to get 12 units for R50 now I don't.know until I buy again
😂😂 private sector in charge of our power grid 😂 it's like allowing banks control our currency, there's no competition in south Africa there's colluding to make more profits.
Citizen concerned youtube channel beware of the comrades
Must be April fools
Eskom gaan sy Gat sien sonder krag of n speel,
South Africa needs wise and godly leaders. Electricity price hike before winter😮 No seriously we need wise and godly leadership
YES THAT IS WHY ALL THE PAY METERS ARE OFF LINE. WHILE THEY ADJUST THEIR METER PRICES. WHAT A FARCE.???
Absolute nonsense. Privatising is never going to lower prices.
Increases are escalating on everything.. So SA citizens/voters, we so screwed, so brace urselves.. Hardship & Poverty increasing too..Eish..😢😢
We can not, instal prepaid meters in all homes that Eskom can get their money.
The salary of the minister of electricity can be used for a better purpose. He is not needed.
This fool says Eskom must be privatised 🤬 and that is going to be worse. The market is not fair... Absolutely Tragic
What an April fools trick to pull😮
Excellent anchor.
STOP EXPOTING COAL AND ALL OTHER MINERALS
Our prez has received dollars so we are not allowed to burn our own coal.
No more belts, aqhawuka kudaaaala.

The 360 experience youtube channel beware beware beware
Buy gold now. The financial system will crash very soon
Msunu yenu Anc voters nabo mamenu
Get off the grid
You are taking money from the people. You are mad. 😢
Privatisation is the only saviour…
Likely but taxpayers will have to pay for the debt created by the ANC through Eskom
Really? Prices will go through the roof when Cyril and his brother privatise energy supply.
@@Mantaray911right now they are out of the roof, we ride taxis everyday and those are private entities, banks etc 😢
@@Mantaray911 Why would that happen ?
Businesses are competitive when there is no monopoly.
They would very quickly cut out ESKOM's inefficiency and corruption.
We can already see this in how the cost of Independent Power Producers bids have brought the price of solar and wind power down over the last 10 years or so.
Privatisation is not the way to go. Please check the facts.
France's nuclear power plants were installed as a response to the 1973 oil crisis, and are almost entirely owned by the French government and its electricity is sold to the government.
Meanwhile in the US its Private‐sector utilities provide the bulk of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution in the United States. However, the federal government also owns a share of the nation's electricity infrastructure.
In 1986, the gas sector was privatised, and the electricity sector followed in 1990 when twelve regional electricity companies in England and Wales were sold off to private firms. In the end, virtually all components of the British energy system had been placed under private ownership
As everyone knows the stellenbosch consortium is interested in controlling the electricity generation sector because its a cash cow they want to control. It's not privatisation it's the stellenbosch monopolising the South African economy.
Imagine increasing the price of a product you hardly provide🤡👎🏽
