5 days ago | maroelamedia.co.za | Antoinette Slabbert

Ná jare van aftakeling en inkrimping is daar ŉ nuwe gees van optimisme in die Suid-Afrikaanse kernkragbedryf.

Die reaktor is op die Suid-Afrikaanse Kernkragkorporasie (Necsa) se terrein by Pelindaba buite Pretoria en het pas sy 60ste verjaarsdag gevier.

Die minste wat hy verwag, sê Lothar Böttcher, ŉ kunstenaar van Kameeldrift noord van Pretoria wat hom in dié bootjie bevind, is dat sy grondwetlike reg tot ŉ billike proses gerespekteer word en hy regverdige vergoeding kry.

Boere met sonkrag se Eskomrekening styg dalk met 20%

2 weeks ago | maroelamedia.co.za | Antoinette Slabbert

Boere wat hul Eskomkrag met sonkrag aanvul, kan hulle staal vir veel groter stygings in hul kragkoste as die gemiddelde 12,75%-tariefverhoging wat die energiereguleerder Nersa in Januarie aan Eskom toegestaan het. Dít is die gevolg van ŉ omvattende herstrukturering van Eskom se tariewe waarvoor die kragvoorsiener al jare vra. Die nuwe tariefstruktuur en tariefverhoging het op 1 April in werking getree.

Broke City of Tshwane forfeits billions as illegal developers get free ride

3 weeks ago | citizen.co.za | Antoinette Slabbert

The Tshwane metro has known for years of at least 19 illegal developments within its area of jurisdiction but failed to impose the punitive property rates the law provides for on the owners. Instead, the illegality has been largely ignored as the properties were assessed as if used for agricultural purposes. This means the owner’s rates bill is calculated at a quarter of the rate applicable to households, or less, and that other ratepayers in Tshwane have effectively been subsidising them.
