TCOB: Urgent Action on Eskom's Electricity Pricing Plan as SA Faces Affordability Crisis

As South Africa grapples with an ongoing electricity affordability crisis, communities working with the Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI) call for urgent reforms to the country’s electricity pricing system.
SAFCEI says Eskom’s application for a 36% tariff increase for 2025/26 will devastate Low-Income Households.

SAFCEI warns that the proposed amendments will worsen the financial strain on low-income households, where affordability is already a major challenge. Joining us for more on this is Ntombi Mapapu; Senior Energy and Climate Justice Coordinator
