Abasebenzi bakwa-Eskom badayisa ugesi owebiwe ngemali engaphansi kwamasenti angu-25 iyunithi ngayinye

Abasebenzi bakwa-Eskom abaxhaphaza ukufinyelela ohlelweni lwabo lokudayisa nge-inthanethi olukhokhelwa kusengaphambili bathengise amathokheni kagesi owebiwe cishe ngenani elilinganiselwa kweshumi nambili lenani lenkampani kagesi eyayikhokhiswa ngaleso sikhathi.

Inkampani ephehla ugesi engaphansi kukahulumeni idalule embikweni wayo waminyaka yonke, owashicilelwa ngoSepthemba, ukuthi ibiphenya izindlela zokuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kwamavawusha kagesi aphehlwa ngokukhwabanisa angu-600kWh.

Ngokusekelwe ezikhangisweni ezifakwe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, “abadayisi abayizipoki” banikela ngamavawusha kagesi angu-600kWh cishe ngo-R150, okusho ukuthi inani leyunithi lika-R0.25/kWh.

Isilinganiso senani leyunithi ngayinye eyakhokhiswa u-Eskom kumakhasimende ahlala kuwo ngo-2023 nango-2024 lalilinganiselwa ku-R3/kWh – ngokuphindwe kashumi nambili kunaleyo ebikhokhiswa amasela kagesi.

Amavawusha amakhulu nawo abetholakala, anikeza ngisho amanani ashibhe ngeyunithi ngayinye. Nokho, amathokheni angu-600kWh abonakale ethandwa kakhulu, okungenzeka ukuthi kungani u-Eskom ewagqamisile embikweni wawo.

U-Eskom uqale wadalula ukuthi uhlelo lwayo lokudayisa nge-inthanethi (i-OVS) lukagesi okhokhelwayo lwephulwa embikweni wawo wangaphambilini odidiyelwe, owashicilelwa ngoDisemba 2024.

Idlanzana labasebenzi bakwa-Eskom bayathinteka kulolu hlelo olukhulu lokudala izigidigidi zamarandi zamavawusha kagesi wekhadi anomgunyathi, bazicebisa bona bebe begebenga le nkampani.

Umcwaningi waseNyuvesi yaseJohannesburg uCalvin Rafadi usechaze ukuthi u-Eskom wazama ukukhumbula imishini yakhe ye-CDU ngesikhathi yethula uhlelo lokuthengisa nge-inthanethi.

Nokho izikhulu zakwa-Eskom zebe imishini eminingi lapho ibigcinwe khona. Baphinde bathola amadiski nezinye izinto ezidingekayo ukuze kushintshwe amanani kagesi emishinini
