JOHANNESBURG - From this morning, South Africans will have to dig even deeper into already shallow pockets to settle their electricity bills.
Customers receiving power directly from Eskom will be charged over 15.6% more.
The High Court ruled that the utility could raise a further R10 billion as part of its allowable revenue to the current year.
This latest hike adds insult to national injury given the devastating effect of recent load shedding and so-called load reduction, with Eskom unable to provide reliable electricity supply.
