As many South Africans have been working from home and not going to school over the last three to five months, they're set to be in for a shock when their electricity bill arrives or when they purchase prepaid electricity. Eskom direct customers have been paying 8.76% more for their electricity since 1 April 2020, while municipal customers have been paying an additional 6.9% since 1 July 2020.
