Afriforum challenges Eskom’s 8.83% electricity price increase

• Afriforum formally opposes Eskom's 8.83% electricity price increase
• The 8.83% tariff increase for Eskom Direct customers hides a large increase in fixed charges, with some customers facing a 23.3% increase
• The tariff charges are scheduled to come into effect on 1 April 2027, as Eskom faces a vicious cycle of declining electricity sales revenue and increasing profits
