Ramokgopa is throwing shade at municipalities for hiking electricity tariffs again, which means that geyser of yours is quietly becoming the most expensive appliance in the house. It’s the sort of news that has everyone side-eyeing their prepaid meter and wondering where the extra rands are supposed to come from. A Powerball ticket won’t fix Eskom, but with a combined R102 million up for grabs across the R88 million Powerball and R14 million XTRA, at least the daydream is load-shedding proof.
Numbers updated here after the draw. Powerball and Powerball XTRA draw every Tuesday and Friday at 21:00 SAST.
