In it, the power utility said this was the amount that it underrecovered in 2018/19, and that it therefore wanted R27 billion more through power tariffs.
Eskom claims that it was awarded only R86 billion for 2018/19, but that its actual costs amounted to R99.4 billion. This included a decrease of 574 gigawatt-hours in the KwaZulu-Natal area, after Richards Bay Alloys turned off two of its smelters, as well as lower electricity use by Karbochem. This is less than the R48.6 billion that Eskom applied for, and even less than it got the previous year.South Africans once again experienced load shedding after Eskom saw a collapse of its power network.

Soweto has your money. If goverment can't handle eskom and electricity production maybe it's time to give the private sector a change to show them how it's done.
That money is hanging freely in Soweto.
I don't get it, Eskom want us to pay them, to put us on load shedding stage 6, give them the middle finger !!!!!!
Can they please collect it from Soweto? The same way they can trip the switch during loadshedding they can simply do the same to nonpaying customers.
😡😡😡😡😡

Eskom can start at Soweto... That would about cover the bill!
They must just get it from Soweto
For what? This fantastic product that they provide us with?
What electricity? Half the day we have nothing.
Eskom knows that Soweto's debt will never be paid and are simply going to rob the rest of the nation.
fix_a_roof_jhb This why we are being blackmailed. When will government realise this and say no, no increase! Keep the lights on. Everyone seems to realise and notice ESKOM blackmails us with load shedding everytime they want an increase Eskom_SA CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA GovernmentZA
Why don’t you sell your home loan business Eskom? Why are you in the business of financing. 9billion home loan book? You are a utility provider, not a mortgage originator or a bank!
RebuildDestiny That is why we having loadshedding again stage 4 in December eskom board controls CR they holding the country to ransom again
Eskom recover your monies from the Guptas and all corrupt politicians n ur employees who milked you dry. Don’t forget to also visit those that are not paying in Soweto b4 you come to us. Ufuna vele si phefumule nge nceba 🤔🤔🤔
While Soweto is not paying, we are being taken for a poes here Maar...
Iyhooo!where do they expect people to get the money to afford electricity?So much for being an SOE hey.why are we even bailing these entities time and again if they are not loyal kanje?
We all know that this loadshedding is a hoax - a scam to loot our money from the government coffers spearheaded by Pravin at the behest of his handlers in Stellenbosch
We are already paying too much for electricity and now they want to increase again,at the same time we are always staying in the dark,they must just cut their board members salaries until Eskom is stable Eskom_SA

Eskom continues with stage 2 load-shedding on SaturdayEskom is continuing with stage 2 rotational load-shedding on Saturday, saying that this is necessary to “cater for further trips and to create capacity to replenish water reserves for our pumped storage schemes”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🌚 You are clueless...we will rather just keep trying the lights on this end It is with great regret to announce Eskom’s decision to cut off electricity and minimise the impact of the job losses after receiving bailout from you the taxpayers. Eskom is operating under challenging circumstances made worse by the Guptas. Next cut due Xmas
