Not a correct comparison.Oh yes yo do have a to pay a 'fixed fee' for petrol.. Botswana petrol is R8.50+- and ours is R23 something.. Botswana make a really good profit at R8.50 so the +-R15 is the fixed fee you pay for petrol (on Botswana retail price).. You can also call it tax if you like. (and that is on top of the 'profit' Bots and SA already make, and then also on top of the profit SA makes when selling it to Bots in the first place.. I would imagine that Bots would. Not be making less than 100‰ profit on the sale of their petrol so then SA is selling it to them for less than R4/litre.. Therefore SA cost/litre is around R3.. So then SA 'fixed fee' is around R20 per litre.. Just saying for a friend. I may be totally wrong, but hey, its just what I think..
In ZA and Bots, I don't pay R500 fixed feed per month (CoJ R200) before I start filling my tank.
What Eskom and CoJ are doing is introducing a Fixed fee for electricity on Pre-Paid.
