ESKOM price hike

Posted by Francois Carstens in South African Economy

The news that ESCOM will increase 24.8% this year, 25.8% in 2011 and 25.9% in 2012. What does this actually mean?

A dream once, a desire, to be significant in my way, and to fulfill the need to feel
stimulated in the word I do, and that's to create. I wanted to create a world where

The Karoo as an Economic Region : The Karoo is a semi-desert region that encompasses some of the most historically impoverished rural areas of the country. Due to recent political policies that focused mainly on urban development there has been very little economic investment in the region. The Karoo is brimming with unrecognised economic potential, such as alternative power opportunities, tourism and craft development.
