increase the annual electricity tariff for 2019/2020 to 13.9%. These increases amount
to a compounded increase of 9.8% per year over three years, which is 29.5% higher
than the current electricity tariff.
In total, as many as 90,222 jobs would be at risk solely as a result of the MYPD4
tariff increases granted to Eskom. This figures excludes existing sector-specific chal-
lenges. Given the mining sector’s dependency ratio of 10 people supported by each
mining job, the potential socio-economic implications for the country are dire. (Source

The U/12 A and U/13 A netball teams of
Steelpoort Academy went on a netball tours to
Richards Bay at the beginning of March.
They arrived on Thursday, 7 March and stayed
in a guest house in Richards Bay. The teams
visited different schools and kicked off their
games with a match against Veld en Vlei.
The host schools welcomed the teams and
made them feel right at home. The second
round of games were against Richards
Bay Primary School. This school also
allowed the girls to practise on their courts
the Saturday morning. After the week-
end, the teams played against Arboretum
Primary School on Monday morning and
against the U/12 and U/15 netball teams
of Grantleigh Curro the afternoon.
Every school went to a lot of trouble to
welcome the teams and make them feel
comfortable.
Between the netball the group also had
time to visit the ocean and take a swim
before the end of summer.
The trip back home coincided with some
of the rounds for selection for district

to progress to the next round that will be
happening on 10 April 2019.
