South Africans who use Eskom electricity set for a decade of pain

South Africans who rely on Eskom electricity are in for a decade of pain, as prices are unlikely to fall in the near future. Interventions by Eskom and the government, including a new Electricity Pricing Policy and the creation of Eskom Green, promise long-term relief through private-sector competition and investment in renewable energy, but these efforts are expected to take years to bear fruit, leaving consumers to bear the brunt of the transition.
