Beurtkrag na Nersa se aankondiging

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika, Nersa, het Eskom se aansoek om tariewe in die volgende drie finansiële jare met onderskeidelik 36,15%; 11,81%; en 9,1% te verhoog, verwerp.

In die plek daarvan is 12,74%; 5,36%; en 6,19% goedgekeur. Dié verhoging is meer as drie keer die inflasiekoers.

Dr Wynand Boshoff, VF Plus-LP het gesê hoewel die verminderde verhoging welkom is, sal verbruikers steeds daaronder ly. “Die dilemma waarin Eskom homself bevind, is die hoë koste van sy bedryf en om skuld te diens, terwyl onafhanklike kragopwekking steeds goedkoper word.

NVG sê dit bly moord

Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Die Direkteur van Openbare Vervolging het besluit dat Wernich Botha steeds verhoor sal word op klagtes van moord en poging tot moord.

Botha word van moord op Hilton Pretorius en poging tot moord op PW Roos aangekla.

Daar is verlede week bespiegel dat die klagtes moontlik kan verander nadat die staatsaanklaer haar aan die saak onttrek het. Die verhoor is uitgestel tot 7-9 Mei.

Dit spruit uit ‘n bakleiery in die parkeerterrein van die Doringkruin Spar-kompleks waar Pretorius dood is, en Roos bewusteloos geslaan is na een hou. Dit het in September 2023 gebeur. ‘n Selfoonvideo van die onderonsie is destyds wyd en syd versprei.

Botha het vroeër aangedui dat hy skuld op die klagtes gaan ontken.
