The march comes after the National Energy Regulator of SA (Nersa) approved Eskom’s18.65% tariff increase for 2023/24. The group will gather from 8.30am at Church Square, Pretoria Central, and will march to Nersa’s offices before heading to the Union Buildings. The route of the march is outlined in the IOL report. Tshwane Metro Police spokesperson Isaac Mahamba said marchers were expected to disperse from Nersa at 11am and to leave the Union Buildings at 12.30am.
