Die burgemeester van die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit (SBM) en die burgemeester van die Bergrivier-munisipaliteit (BM) het albei in \u2019n amptelike verklaring Eskom se voorgestelde 32%-tariefverhoging verwerp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andr\u00e9 Truter, die burgemeester van die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEskom beplan om \u2019n derde van ons elektrisiteit te steel,\u201d het die burgemeester van die SBM verlede week in sy verklaring ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs uitvoerende burgemeester verwerp ek Eskom se voorgestelde tariefverhoging aan die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika (Nersa) wat vanaf 1 April 2023 in werking moet tree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Truter s\u00ea die voorstel is \u201conrealisties, bo inflasie en absurd!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom kom hierdie verhoging op die slegste moontlike tyd aangesien 2022 reeds die ergste jaar van beurtkrag tot nou is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEn nou verwag Eskom van ons burgers om n\u00f3g meer van hul swaarverdiende geld vir elektrisiteit wat hulle nie kry nie, te betaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierdie verhoging sal die dood van baie huishoudings beteken. Baie van ons inwoners sukkel om kos op die tafel te sit, leef van die hand na die mond en weet nie eens hoe hulle m\u00f4re gaan oorleef nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die SBM het in \u2019n vorige verklaring ges\u00ea die munisipaliteit is besig om oplossings vir die huidige energie-uitdaging te verkry deur energie vir Saldanhabaai te bekom, en die SBM sal hierdie proses so vinnig as moontlik volg om te verseker dat ons inwoners alternatiewe energievoorsiening (elektrisiteit) sal h\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is nou die tyd vir elkeen van ons om verantwoordelikheid vir ons toekoms te neem \u2013 verby is die dae waar ons bloot kon wegkyk en hoop vir die beste. Dit is van kritieke belang dat ons almal die verhoging van 32% sterk teenstaan \u2013 ek kan dit nie alleen doen nie. Help my om jou te help asseblief,\u201d is Truter se pleidooi aan plaaslike inwoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wil al die inwoners van Saldanhabaai aanmoedig om deel te word van die oplossing deur deel te neem aan Nersa se openbaredeelname\u00adproses met betrekking tot die konsultasiedokument oor Eskom se voorgestelde kleinhandeltarief-herstruktureringsplan deur voor Vrydag 7 Oktober skriftelik kommentaar by ERTSA@nersa.org.za in te dien.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ray van Rooy, die burgemeester van die Bergrivier-munisipaliteit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die uitvoerende burgemeester van die Bergrivier-munisipaliteit (BM) het in \u2019n verklaring, wat op 23 September uitgereik is, ges\u00ea hy kan nie die \u201conrealistiese, onbekostigbare voorstelle van Eskom vir elektrisiteits\u00adprysstygings\u201d steun nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEskom se mees onlangse aansoek by Nersa, waarin goedkeuring gevra word vir \u2019n kommerwekkende 32%-prysverhoging vir elektrisiteit, kan weer beteken dat die verbruikerspubliek meer geld vir hierdie noodsaaklike diens sal moet opdok,\u201d het Van Rooy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk ondersteun die Stellenbosch-sowel as die Bitou-munisipaliteit se voorstelle \u2013 dat hulle Eskom se jongste aansoek onomwonde en in die openbaar verwerp \u2013 ten volle. Ek verwerp ook hierdie aansoek ten sterkste en vra dat dit dringend geskrap word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Rooy s\u00ea die stygende prys van voedsel, brandstof en elektrisiteit \u2013 alles noodsaaklik vir die handhawing van \u2019n menswaardige lewe \u2013 knou inwoners se vermo\u00eb om met hul inkomste uit te kom, en dit bevorder net werkloosheid, armoede en misdaad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns inwoners is so finansieel ingeperk dat hulle letterlik geen ruimte meer het om hul huishoudelike begroting te sny nie. Hierdie voorgestelde verhoging hou ernstige gevolge vir inwoners, ons gemeenskappe en die groter samelewing as geheel in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit word van ons verwag om verhogings ho\u00ebr as die inflasiekoers te aanvaar vir elektrisiteit, \u2019n diens wat swak bestuur word en selfs veroorsaak dat ons inwoners sonder warm water, sonder enige elektroniese toestelle (selfone), sonder sein (in sommige gevalle), sonder lig, vir \u2019n hele paar uur per dag moet sit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is onaanvaarbaar, ongevraagd en onregverdig!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Rooy doen \u2019n sterk beroep op Eskom om sy voorstel terug te trek en dit te wysig om te verseker dat dit in pas is met die verbruikersprysindeks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
