Cape MEC of Economic Opportunities Alan Winde is concerned by the impact of
poor management of state entities and resultant failure to supply electricity.
MEC
Winde said Eskom’s proposed tariff increase coupled with load shedding will
result in multi- billion rand loses to the economy.
Ministerial
Spokesperson Bronwynne Jooste said load shedding and the electricity tariff
hikes have a direct impact on our ability to create jobs and research has shown
us that the issues with Energy will see growth rate and productivity decline.
“At
the same time consumers will be paying more for goods and services. The statistics
tell us that securing energy should be one of national government’s key
priorities.” Jooste added.
