South African town charging homes with solar R582.64 per month to not use its electricity

• Thaba Chweu Local Municipality is charging homes with solar R582.64 per month to not use its electricity.
• The levy is believed to be unlawful, irrational, and unreasonable, and was introduced without a lawful and transparent public participation process.
• AfriForum has given Thaba Chweu and NERSA 10 days to respond to its concerns, and will approach the High Court for relief if they fail to do so.
