We will request that in addition to reversing the proposed April 2023 price hike, no further increases will be granted to Eskom until load-shedding is permanently suspended,” said IFP spokesperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa.“South Africans simply cannot afford to pay more for power, particularly as the current supply provided by Eskom is so unreliable.
