South Africa stress-testing fix for R350-billion electricity problem
Electricity and energy minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa's department believes it has found an approach to address the issue of access to free electricity for indigent households in South Africa.
However, it must first address another significant problem: skyrocketing municipal debt to Eskom. While the debt figure sits at R78 billion, Ramokgopa noted that various customer categories collectively owe municipalities R349 billion.
