Hmm. Meetings with stakeholders eh?

Feels more like its a meeting with private electricity producers to agree on rates.

Liar. Electricity is very expensive and unaffordable of lately. The tarrifs has increased beyond 💯 %.It clearly indicates that we have a leadership crisis in this country. Shame to all of them 😢😢😢

@TheSafeSpace-r2z

Not true, in orange farm we have 5 hours load shedding every second day. They may not want to call it load shedding but it is.

@SimphiweNompuza

Rural areas are still experiencing loadshedding…. You journalist should do your own research before you praise such news.

@noahsepp

This guy is stupid. Electricity is extremely expensive and it’s only increasing in price. R1000 for 283kwh!

@jaycou7126

Load reduction is a just a figment of everybodies imagination.

@mabaker391

Making electricity more affordable – by who's standards???

@mabaker391

Woop-di-doo!!! 138 days of no load shedding and 15yrs of load shedding.. Try a bit harder before I think of giving a gold star to anyone….

@ChilledMusicJam.6431

Did you just say 138 days of no load shedding?? Hope TSHWANE is not counted in areas without load shedding for 138 days, because here at Refilwe Word 99 we only get electricity for 2 full days, then they take electricity on the third day at around 4pm till 10pm since the 2nd of June 2024 to date…
