"People who can afford inverters are not the kinds to strike/protest. The best you can do is raise the awareness of this penalty with your influence."

"Poverty wena Pearl. We have all the resources in the country to make electricity kuze kovalwa, Nuclear and Coal galore. The problem is certain households really don't afford electricity and some would rather not pay at all even though everyone uses it. Leaves Eskom at a loss."
