@GovernmentZA So anyone can come here illegally and claim asylum basically. Then be here for years because home Affairs doesn't have the capacity to process them. Why don't you guys just amend the constitution to favour citizens of the country?
@karynmaughan@ConCourtSA You lost your credibility on ago especially when you tried to discredit Mkwanazi. We are not interested in whatever you have to say.
@mrmajika1@bbjofr We are not deranged, we just don't like racists. Continue attacking Meghan and we will attack back on her behalf. You lot hate her cause Harry chose her and none of you bad build botched weirdos.

REF: Comments on the Consultation Paper on the Eskom Retail Tariff Structural Adjustment (ERTSA) Application for Standard Tariffs for the 2027/28 Financial Year, published 2 September 2026 (closing date for comments: 2 October 2026, 16:00)
Subject: Unconditional objection to any further electricity price increase - nothing less than a reduction is acceptable
Dear Members of the Energy Regulator
1. I write in terms of the public participation process to record my unconditional objection to Eskom's ERTSA application for the 2027/28 financial year, which proposes yet another average increase of approximately 8.8% in the price of electricity. I say this at the outset, clearly and without equivocation: nothing but a reduction in the price of electricity is acceptable. Another increase is not merely undesirable - it is unjustifiable, unaffordable and unconscionable in the current economic climate.
2. Over the past twenty years, the price of electricity in South Africa has risen by more than 900% - cumulative increases that have outpaced inflation by a wide margin and dwarfed wage growth for ordinary workers. Every single year, South Africans are told that this year's increase is the last one, or the minimum possible, or somehow for our own good. Yet the increases never stop. Even the Regulator's most recent determination, approving an average increase of 8.76% for 2026/27, landed on consumers who are already drowning, and Eskom is already back asking for 8.8% more. Each increase compounds the last, and the burden is never lifted - it is only passed on.
3. This country is in the grip of a cost-of-living crisis. Food prices, fuel, municipal rates, transport and housing have all risen relentlessly, while salaries and wages have not kept pace. Working South Africans are doing more hours for less real money, and every cent counts. Electricity is not a luxury that can be cut from a budget - it is a basic need: it cooks our food, keeps medicine cold, lights our children's homework, and powers the small enterprises that employ our neighbours. For the poor, who spend a far larger share of their income on energy and who buy electricity through prepaid metres, every tariff increase is a direct, immediate cut to an already inadequate income. When the price of electricity rises, it is not Eskom's shareholders who feel it - it is the pensioner in a two-room house in winter, and the domestic worker who must choose between a warm meal and electricity for the week. The poor and the working class bear the brunt of every increase, and they can bear no more.
4. Eskom's demand for yet another increase is all the more indefensible given its own financial results. Eskom has now recorded its first profit since 2017 - R23.9 billion before tax in the 2024/25 financial year - and reports indicate that profits have since more than doubled. Eskom's own annual results attribute this turnaround in large measure to tariff increases already granted. In other words, the South African public has already paid for Eskom's recovery through higher prices, and Eskom now returns to the trough asking for more, while sitting on record profits. Those profits should be applied to reducing the price of electricity and easing the burden on consumers - not to funding yet another round of increases. A profitable Eskom that still demands annual hikes is not a utility in need; it is a monopoly that has learned that the public will always have to pay.
@RE_DailyMail Harry said he will never want to be a working Royal, there are no sources here just your made up lies. You people are sick. LEAVE THEM ALONE, THEY ARE PRIVATE CITIZENS.
@BBCBreaking Which spokesperson ๐, you liars are unbelievable. You hate them, yet you can't stop talking about them. LEAVE THEM ALONE, THEY ARE PRIVATE CITIZENS ๐
@Sarahfinn54@canadian_royal1 Well in America, their security were allowed to carry guns. They want to pay for their own security but government doesn't want their security to carry guns.
@lady_doi Did you see her say this? You guys make up stories about them, then make yourself believe that it is true then hate them for it. They have not said one word since arriving. You people are sick in the head.
@Mtsai_Legend@DOEE_ZA That means on the 1st of every month you must purchase electricity worth 4k so that it lasts for a month๐ญ. If you do not do it like that, you will get less units when you try and top up during the month.
