Eskom wants huge price increase

[CeeBee]

big price increase to us sods who keep paying for what we use.... perhaps coz the freeloaders and non-paying users in soweto and other areas with entitlement citizens, who owe billions in fees said no-thanx to prepaid meters... they'd rather demand and expect electricity for free
meanwhile here in my valley... you miss payment by due date, electricity is cut same day + penalty fee if you want to reconnect

just remember eskom.... keep pushing your paying customer base and soon you will push them far enough to get alternative power, then where will u get any money?

Surprise surprise. Eskom starts load shedding then asks for price increase. Increase is granted and load shedding stops. Eskom starts load shedding then asks for price increase.

Meanwhile they refuse to stop feeding their workers.

Eish, the MacTuckyDonalds is getting too expensive!

 

[Kayoss]

No, it's not our fault you didn't plan ahead and now have to use extremely expensive open cycle gas turbines, **** off!

But it is our problem...

Besides, if the average salary at Eskom is already at R700k+, how else are they going to fund their gigantic bonuses?

 

[BigEars]

Have I anything to add = No.

My sig says it all

 

[supersunbird]

My consumption is rock bottom. I simply cannot use less. I just get to sit and watch as I get raped with increased costs every year.

Is your lighting LED?

 

[Milano]

Then next is the price increase due to lower revenue due to lower consumption. Rinse. Repeat.

 

[Defirence680]

F**k Eskom.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Simply no shame, no shame at all

Soon illegal connections will pop up everywhere

 

[undesign]

Eish. Becoming expensive to support the country's dominant culture.

 

[Utterly Confused]

Pay less for what your workers eat and plan better otherwise go get forked ......... so glad getting out of here is on the horizon.

Got room for me in your suitcase. I'm sick of this f'n country and the morons that run it! :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:

 

[Utterly Confused]

Cut off all the electricity thieves, i.e. those that make illegal connections from the nearest lamp post into the squatter shacks. If you happen to also cut of the heads of those thieves, that's also OK

The cANCer will never cut off their voters.

 

[Utterly Confused]

Give a s.hitty service and ask for more! it can only be South Africa. Definitely not Proudly South African!

Madness, I only use 500kwh in a month, for a 4 bedroom house with pool. I don't know how the **** I'm supposed to use less. Maybe throw away appliances that are only a+ energy efficiency for a+++ energy efficiency? Or maybe adopt a cold shower only policy? Or a lights out policy? Or a cave man one? **** eskom, I'm also going to have to start burning **** and throwing it at eskom.
Why should we pay more when eskom makes no effort to cut costs??

We used 804kwh last month and paid R1243.17 (incl VAT) for that. How much does you 500kwh work out at?

Going to try to lessen that, expend a small amount of capital on making the lights that are on most (some all night) LED.

You know what's funny? The more we reduce, the less VAT government also gets... great news

 

[Sinbad]

1150 gets me about 980kwh on city power prepaid. I use about 850 a month, building up a buffer.

 

[kianm]

How much is enough for asskom?

 

[ellyally]

Perhaps if you finished the money sucking black hole white elephants that are 4 years overdue you would have more money yes!?

Just a matter of time before solar is cheaper than Eskom , the spiral is in full swing .
Less and less people will be paying and the spiral to higher prices until it is Unaffordable .
Anarchy and chaos is just around the corner unless some thing drastic is not done now .
The only way to stop electricity theft is to supply all subscribers with 380 volts and fit a step down transformer at the subscribers premises in high theft areas .
