Tomorrow, 3 December 2024, the Democratic Alliance (DA) will protest Eskom’s proposed 40% electricity hike at the NERSA public hearings in Soweto and present  submissions to the hearings.

The delegation from the DA will be led by the DA Gauteng Provincial Leader, Solly Msimanga MPL, and DA Johannesburg Shadow MMC for Infrastructure, Nicole van Dyk, and Luyolo Mphiti MP, the DA’s Spokesperson on Human Settlements. Various other public representatives from local, provincial and national government structures will also be in attendance.

We will call on NERSA to reject the tariff hike, which would detrimentally harm millions already struggling with the high cost of living.

Members of the media are hereby invited to attend the event, where there will be opportunity for both interviews and photographs.
