Nowadays, most people have prepaid electricity meters. So, why don’t you simply buy as much electricity as you can afford before the proposed +-60% tarriff increases. So, in essence you are stockpile your electricity.

It is only a short-term solution, but it could save a bundle. It might even be worth while using your bond to but (for example) R5000 worth of electricity. The interest that you pay on R5000 on a bond is far less that that the 60% that Eskom want.

What you you think – it it worthwhile?
