Electricity tariff hike kicks in─── 11:54 Mon, 01 Jul 2019
The price of petrol is expected to drop this week, but residents in some municipalities won't be celebrating much. The price of electricity goes up on Monday.
The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) is urging South Africans to keep paying their electricity but says the government needs to control the price increases.
Tariffs for water and refuse collection are also increasing in some municipalities.
Outa's Energy Portfolio Manager Ronald Chauke said without users paying for electricity and services, the operators will work at a loss and people will not be able to access the services.
Chauke said the government needs to do a better job.
