Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe says every South African should seriously consider how he or she is using electricity.

At the launch of Eskom's energy efficiency campaign in Johannesburg, Motlanthe said by taking saving actions at home and in the workplace, people can also contribute to the health of the environment.

The private sector has committed itself to reducing wastage by introducing efficient production methods.

Motlanthe says the government and Eskom are working closely together.
