Sowetans should pay flat rate of R150/month for electricity

[krycor]

i LOL'd when i saw the headline. Nope.. cut them off much like the eToll non-payers.

That before or after they start protesting rioting and burning everything in sight?

Bring on the tough love.

 

[daveza]

Let them riot and burn stuff until they realise they've destroyed Soweto and still have no electricity.

 

[Pitbull]

How about we all just pay R150? Sounds like a brilliant plan!

 

[daveza]

You can have as much eletrcity as you pay for.

They used R6k in a month

They used R6k in a month

If they did, maybe they operate a backyard welding business.

 

[ponder]

That's discrimination!

That's what happens when you use your stove top as a heater in the winter time.

 

[Slootvreter]

Bullschit, the peasantry won't pay that.

 

[Jabulani22]

So what is being said is that when you encourage non payment , violence and rioting in your community(over many years) , you may find it difficult to get people to pay , not be violent and no rioting in places ....... hmmmmmmm who would have thought that encouraging mass scale bad behaviour could lead to a cultural shift.

I also want to pay R150 a month for unlimited, uninterrupted electricity! Last month was rough with the bill coming to R500.

Don't municipalities give qualifying residents a certain amount of free electricity if they apply for it?

 

[TysonRoux]

I saw an article showing a large residence in Soweto that was used for a catering business, and they boasted that they pay zero for electricity.

 

[John_Phoenix]

Right guys, R150 a month. Time to haul out ye old bitcoin miners and give those cooling fans a workout.

mahala
electricity and water, we demand it

When we Gautengers said we are willing to pay a flat rate of 10c/liter of petrol for e-tolls, it was rejected due to some user-pays 'policy' the ANC promptly plucked from their arse.

Either scrap the user pays principle for e-tolls, or force the user pays principle on Soweto electricity usage.

Our constitution says we are all equal & should not be discriminated against based on skin color, try & act like that for a change, moegoes.

I think it's what they're doing. I don't see Eskom writing off the debt

 

[thestaggy]

I still don't know how they even let Soweto run up nearly R20 billion of debt.

I mean sure, I get the fact that this party of abject plonkers has to buy its votes, but fvck me.
