Well.... you can't use it if it's not being supplied Maybe they're cutting off all those people who aren't paying, every little helps!

the cheaper they make it, the more we use, now cause is so expensive, everyone turns off the lights, which means Eskom makes less money, so they bill us more, and we use less, when will it ever stop.

we for once are just doing what they told use, and we getting kicked in the butt for it

Pfft, if we use less electricity, why are we importing more?

But isn't the economy down about 3% - so if you adjust for that we are using more.
