Political parties, conomists, and even trade unions have slammed the hikes saying it’s going to take away money from people.
Congress of the People’s Philipp Dexter says these increase are outrageous.
“We as the Congress of the people are not happy with the increase because now people are paying for Eskom’s incompetence and ordinary citizens are set to suffer from this increases,” said Dexter.
