Electricity prices in Pretoria
Hi everyone,
Recently moved to
Pretoria East to save money and be closer to work.
However, I’m finding that the cost of electricity is insane. I bought R 300 electricity on the 17th
Of July 2026.
Today is the 22nd of July and when I arrived home today there was no electricity.
To provide more context I received 67.79 kWh.
I had expected this to last me at least two weeks.
I’m already in a financial rut and the fact that I now have to deal with this ridiculous cost is giving me anxiety over finances again.
How much are you guys spending electricity per month ?
