The Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Cllr Mpho Phalatse, representing the Multi-Party Government, will lodge a formal objection to Nersa in response to Eskom’s request for a 20.5% tariff increase.
The Executive Mayor will be accompanied by the MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services, Cllr Michael Sun, and Acting CEO of City Power, Tshifularo Mashava.
Such a tariff hike would simply be unaffordable for Johannesburg residents and small business-owners, who are already buckling under the pressure of a failing economy and ever-increasing unemployment which ultimately leads to dwindling incomes and revenues.
The Multi-Party Government will call on Nersa to reject Eskom’s ridiculous request.
Details of the event are as follows:
Date: Friday, 21 January 2022
Time: 10:30 for 11:00
Venue: Gallagher Convention Centre, 19 Richards Drive, Halfway House, Midrand
