Cape Town is fighting against Eskom’s shocking plan to raise electricity prices by as much as 44%. This increase could make life harder for many residents and small businesses, leading to higher bills and more protests. Mayor Geordin HillLewis is pushing back, worried about how these changes will hurt the city’s economy and its most vulnerable people. Despite the challenges, Cape Town is working hard to support lowincome households with programs that offer cheaper electricity, but these efforts are now at risk because of Eskom’s proposed hikes. The city’s determination to stand strong shows its commitment to a fair and brighter future for everyone.
