A victory for the Little man – Nersa

By

The National Energy Regulator (Nersa) of South Africa represented by Chairperson Jacob Modise, announced their findings into Eskoms Application for an electricity price hike at a press conference in Johannesburg earlier today.

South Africa breathed a silent sigh of relief as the application was turned down by the Regulator on all counts.
