Eskom tariff hike kicks in from April

from Kaya Biz · host Gugulethu Mfuphi

South Africans will feel the pinch as electricity tariffs rise by 8.76% from 1 April, with further increases expected from municipalities later in the year. While Eskom points to improved performance and the need to fund infrastructure, questions remain about affordability and whether reliability will truly improve. Energy and finance expert Ruse Moleshe unpacks what this means for households, businesses, and the broader economy. Kaya FM
