In 2000 the South African government announced its policy was to provide “free basic services.” The free basic electricity policy was released in 2003 and claimed that it would ensure that a “basic supply” of electricity is made available free of charge to poor households.
In practice, the amount provided in the “basic supply” is very limited, and soon runs out.
