The North Gauteng High Court sets new deadlines that will provide additional time for public feedback on the proposed electricity costs

The North Gauteng High Court has set new deadlines that will provide additional time for public feedback on the proposed electricity costs, giving residents and businesses a greater opportunity to influence the final decision.
