The problem with making those who DO pay, will pay more for electricity is that the who DO NOT pay are not affected. Even if I gave all the money I make to ESKOM it will not change the fact that there is a very very large proportion of the "public" who simply pay nothing, owe a lot and probably never will pay anything.
As all things go in this country it is a ever dwindling middle class that sponsors everybody else. (Ever dwindling because they (us) all move abroad eventually)
Even if we did fix ESKOM and we had 100% power 100% of the time 70% of the population will still not pay for it no matter how cheap it costs because they have become accustomed to not paying and having the debt written off.
