[ICYMI] Electricity and Energy Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says they have a new proposed electricity pricing policy that categorises consumers and gives subsidies to the poor. He says these subsidies end up paying for salaries when given to municipalities. Ramokgopa adds that some municipalities currently pass the cost of technical losses to consumers, leading to high tariffs. Watch:

Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says that about 20% to 30% of what people currently pay for electricity should not be part of the cost. He says municipalities and Eskom are recovering revenue lost through technical losses and illegal connections by charging customers extra on their tariffs. Ziyanda N and vuyo mvoko report Watch:

Eskom has announced that powercuts will be suspended for the rest of Monday. The power utility says this is due to lower-than-anticipated demand. #eNCA #DStv403

Will the high-speed RAIL be the downfall of Mark Carney’s government. It is highly unpopular with the majority of Canadians that won’t benefit and have to pay for it. Municipalities are opposed as well.

When savings are pooled into pension funds the collective strength is huge. That money should help rebalance the country & benefit ordinary people. Pension funds could pay for more council houses and cheaper renewable energy, which would benefit us all.

NO MORE FUNDS FOR ILLEGALS—At today’s Lake County Commission meeting I moved to add language to all county grant agreements requiring that any organization seeking grants must comply with federal immigration law. The motion passed 5-0. Now, any organization receiving funds/grants from Lake County MUST ensure that those funds are provided only to American citizens in accordance with 8 U.S.C. § 1621. American dollars should benefit American citizens.

Akampurira Ignitious received funding under the Parish Development Model (PDM) and put the money to good use, understanding that the funds had to be repaid so that other beneficiaries could also access the programme. He is grateful that he was able to invest the funds for their intended purpose, generate returns and fulfil his repayment obligation, allowing others to benefit from the revolving fund. #PDM #OpenGovUg

Pravin Gordhan is the Executive Authority for Eskom. He presented Andre De Ruyter to Cabinet for the appointment as the CEO of Eskom Hld SOC Ltd. It is mind-boggling that today Pravin Gordhan says Andre De Ruyter lacked the power station experience. On what basis then did he recommend him to Cabinet to be appointed the CEO of Eskom? These leaders are not deserving their positions.

[WATCH] DEALING WITH MUNICIPAL DEBT BY CUTTING WASTEFUL EXPENDITURE Our social contract with the people should mean that those of us who can pay should assist the poor. Our indigent system is still in place but where we will receive the bulk of revenue is by dealing with wasteful expenditure, monies that are leaking in the system. Dealing with wasteful expenditure in our municipalities and curtailing that is where we will be able to raise municipal revenues to address the budget issues we are facing in our municipalities. #ANCManifesto2026 #VoteANC2026 #LetsContinueBuildingBetterCommunitiesTogether

While the provincial executive and municipalities should be commended for growing public infrastructure in this province, challenges remain. Communities are bearing the brunt of instability at local government level. Municipalities have repeatedly been placed under administration, the Ditsobotla Local Municipality being the most recent of these. The national executive, working with the provincial government, is determined to arrest the current situation and turn the municipality around so that it once again delivers consistent services and enjoys the respect of communities.

BLACKROCK CEO LARRY FINK: WHY CHINA IS WINNING THE AI POWER RACE He says the AI race will come down to who can build enough electricity fast enough: - China is building 100 gigawatts of nuclear and close to 100 gigawatts of solar - Fink says China is getting set up for the AI revolution and the power it needs - He says moratoriums are not the answer, the focus should be delivering more power quickly without raising electricity prices

The state of NHS dentistry in North Norfolk is appalling 🦷😥 I raised this with the Minister for Care today, and asked that he protect unallocated dental funds for North Norfolk to help ensure patients here get the treatment they need, when they need it.

July, 2025. Eric Swalwell complains about the cost of childcare and says that legal immigrants help to bring down that cost. We now know that Swalwell was paying for his childcare with campaign funds and employed someone who was not here legally. This guy is such a fraud.

[WATCH] A 2024 PwC report found that more South Africans are paying private companies for services that municipalities are meant to provide. Many say they are effectively paying twice, through taxes and again for basic services. As voters prepare for the November local government elections, concerns over service delivery are expected to influence how they vote. This comes as the country marks the final weekend for in-person voter registration. Zoleka Qodashe has more from Alberton in Ekurhuleni. #Newzroom405
