Joburg residents face higher electricity bills

from Kaya 959 · host Phemelo Motene

Johannesburg households are paying more for electricity after City Power's new tariffs came into effect this week. The utility says the 8.63% increase will help fund infrastructure upgrades and improve service reliability, while protecting vulnerable households through its Free Basic Electricity Programme. But the hike comes as City Power continues to face scrutiny over billions of rand in irregular expenditure flagged by the Auditor-General. Phemelo speaks to Acting Group Head for Revenue Shared Services Centres, Lufuno Mashau. www.kaya959.co.za · Kayafm
