- 9% is today’s Number of the Day.
That is the average electricity tariff increase facing many South Africans as municipalities begin implementing new electricity rates from 01 July 2026.
Gareth Edwards and Francis Herd unpack why the number matters beyond the electricity bill.
Francis explains that Eskom’s tariff increases were allowed by Nersa, with direct customers already affected from April and municipal customers now starting to feel the increase from July. But the exact impact depends on where people live. Some municipalities are lower. Others are higher. Either way, many households should prepare for a bigger bill.
The conversation then widens into the real pressure point: electricity does not rise alone.
Water, refuse removal and other municipal charges are also increasing. In Johannesburg, Francis points to higher electricity, water and refuse costs, as well as a sharply rising water demand management levy.

In this episode of Voices Of Change, Heidi Giokos speaks to Dr Shoko Raditzai about the lived realities of widows in South Africa, with a special focus on young widows navigating grief, social judgement, cultural pressure, economic hardship and weak support systems.

• When does widowhood become an economic emergency?
• What happens when pensions, property and housing become contested?
• Where does culture become care, and where does it become control?
