Aside from the fact that load-shedding is now back with us we are further confronted with the shocking news of very high electricity tariff hikes in the future.

All consumers will be very hard hit by these tariff hikes.

According to Eskom the electricity supply situation is critical.

This means that we have to brace ourselves for more blackouts.

Load-shedding and power supply cuts are an entirely new and unexpected phenomenon in our country.

Eskom has a responsibility to give us reasons as to how and why this crisis has emerged and why there are load-shedding discrepancies countrywide.
