Stephen Grootes speaks to Prof Samson Mamphweli, Head of SANEDI’s Energy Secretariat, Energy Expert at IMPOWER Matthew Cruise about AfriForum securing a court order halting Eskom’s proposed R54bn tariff hike. The agreement between Eskom and NERSA, intended to correct a data error, has been paused pending a judge’s review, preventing further sharp increases in electricity prices over the next three years.

In other interviews, consumer advocate Wendy Knowler talks about JustMoney’s 2025 survey on South Africans’ relationship with money. The survey, conducted last month among 5,500 people, reveals that while many are feeling intense financial pressure, a growing number are finding ways to supplement their income. About 36% of respondents have side hustles, though many aspiring entrepreneurs still face major barriers, particularly limited access to funding.
