The Reserve Bank Governor Tito Mboweni has proposed a "once-off tax" rather than a tariff hike to help Eskom build capacity.
Mboweni told a conference of the Road Freight Association in Vanderbijlpark that he was sure people would prefer a tax to tariff increases, as long as was once-off.
It is reported that while Mboweni said he agreed more power capacity was needed, he added a tariff hike would not benefit the industry.
Eskom has proposed to increase its tariffs by 34-percent this year. The utility said the increase was necessary to build capacity to satisfy South Africa's electricity demands.
