Maybe I didn't articulate my point clearly. I'm not saying we aren't paying too much for electricity but I'm saying for other people, it goes beyond expensive. Here are 2 example prepaid purchases. One direct from Eskom and another via 3rd party to city power. Both R700. Same period.
I have the privilege to keep track of electricity bills from 5 different households.
Eskom direct in the Fourways area - affordable but complex billing.
City power in the Johannesburg area via postpaid - straightforward but decently priced electricity
City of Ekurhuleni in Alberton via prepaid...
