Electricity debt + prices 

The South African National Civic Organisation, SANCO, in Joburg is proposing an electricity flat rate of R150 for poor households in Joburg. They apparently submitted this memorandum to City Power.

How possible is this?

Guest:Thomas Thaga, Chairperson - SANCO Johannesburg branch

Guest: Brian Kamanzi, Researcher at Trade Unions for Energy Democracy

Thomas Thaga, chairperson of the Johannesburg branch of the SA National Civic Organisation (Sanco), has proposed a significant change, which he says will help alleviate the financial burden on poor households. In a memorandum submitted to City Power, Thaga advocated for a flat electricity rate of R150 per month for underprivileged families.

This initiative, according to Thaga, is not only aimed at easing the cost of living for these households, but also at addressing broader systemic issues faced by power utilities such as Eskom and City Power, including the rampant problem of illegal connections. 

He said that, as an organisation, they identified the gaps and challenges that the power suppliers or producers faced.

Former ANC President and current Umkhonto Wesizwe Party leader Jacob Zuma has 21 days to appeal the expulsion from the ANC handed by the ANC Disciplinary Committee. The ANC found him guilty for contravening rule 25.17.17.4 of the ANC constitution.
The rule contravened
The impact of this contravention
JG Zuma Foundation tweeted a couple of hours ago: “The Zuma Law is back, alive and well…No transparency in the ANC DC, No opportunity to be heard, No opportunity to mitigate sentence….”
What happens during the appeal?
The expulsion, does that mean erasing him in the history of the ANC?

DA on Electoral Court challenge with Ramaphosa: 'We have a duty to defend the Constitution'



In May this year, the DA opened a case against Ramaphosa for allegedly violating the Electoral Code of Conduct. The party refused to drop the case despite being in a Government of National Unity with the ANC.



DA on Electoral Court challenge with Ramaphosa: 'We have a duty to defend the Constitution'





JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance (DA) and President Cyril Ramaphosa are set for a showdown in court on Thursday in what appears to be the first crack in the Government of National Unity (GNU).





In May this year, the DA opened a case against Ramaphosa for allegedly violating the Electoral Code of Conduct.





The DA said Ramaphosa's televised speech, three days before the elections, was a political campaign advertisement disguised as an official speech from The Presidency.





However, the president's office denied this, saying it was protocol for the sitting president to address the nation towards the end of his political term.





The case will be heard in the Electoral Court sitting at the Johannesburg High Court.





DA spokesperson Willie Aucamp said the party was not going to drop the case because of its newly formed relationship with the African National Congress (ANC).





"Being in a GNU with the ANC doesn't mean we all of a sudden stop defending the Constitution. It means we even have a greater duty to do so," said Aucamp.
