i read on the etkweni site that we were in for an 18.5 % increase in electricity...seems we are in for a little shock if they get the new rate approved this week of over 20 %...the news last night indicated over 19% +

last year in may 2010 if your account was R1000
july 2010 last year it would have gone up to R1250
and in july 2011 it will go up to R1481.00

thats nearly R500 per month...eeina for those of you who are finding it a little difficult at the moment.

what is a bigger concern to me is the fact that the petrol price is coming down again...by a pathetic 34 cents...we all know what happens when it comes down...expect huge increases in the near future.

they indicated on the news that the average 3 bedroom household will need to fork out an additional R1000 per month municipality fees.
