Minister commits to tackling soaring electricity costs

Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, Minister of Electricity and Energy, has pledged to address the nation’s escalating electricity prices, acknowledging their unsustainable burden on households and businesses.

Ramokgopa emphasized the government’s commitment to revising the electricity pricing policy to alleviate financial strain, particularly for low-income communities.
“There’s been an exponential rise in the cost of electricity,” Ramokgopa stated, highlighting the impact on disposable incomes. “Households are forced to choose between buying bread or replenishing electricity units. The state has a duty to resolve this.” He outlined plans to collaborate with Eskom, municipalities, and the South African Local Government Association (SALGA) to develop a lasting solution.

The minister stressed the critical role of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) in protecting consumers by scrutinizing proposed tariff hikes from Eskom and municipalities. “We will work with Nersa to ensure a pricing framework that safeguards the poor, supports the affluent, and keeps industries competitive,” he said.

This comes after Nersa approved a 12.7% electricity tariff increase in January 2025, significantly lower than Eskom’s requested 36.15%.

Despite this, public frustration persists, with many South Africans criticizing the government’s handling of the energy sector.

Ramokgopa also addressed municipal debt to Eskom, which has ballooned to over R109 billion by February 2025, warning that it threatens the stability of the national grid. He urged municipalities to improve revenue collection to reinvest in infrastructure and prevent a “total collapse of the electricity complex.”

As South Africa navigates its energy crisis, Ramokgopa’s assurances signal a renewed focus on affordability and equity. However, with economic pressures mounting, the government faces an uphill battle to deliver on these promises and restore public trust.

Most cheating stories are about men. But once you talk about making DNA tests mandatory, people start acting weird. That’s when the truth gets real and uncomfortable.

@1BlueRuger @twatterbaas No you're wrong Ginger, SA doesn't care about your pinkness and sense of entitlement. Apartheid favored you and you thought you were smart. Look at the number of PHD graduates, majority are blacks like it should be. The order has changed no one calls you baas now
