In a recent SABC News interview, Annaline van der Poel, Chief Operating Officer at Debt Rescue, discusses the severe consequences of Eskom’s proposed 30.6% tariff increase. With the already overwhelming cost of living, this hike could be a devastating blow for millions of South Africans who are struggling to make ends meet.
Increase in Debt Counselling
Van der Poel also discusses the growing demand for debt counselling services, as more consumers seek help to manage their mounting financial challenges.
Two-Pot Pension
Towards the end of the interview, van der Poel explores the new Two-Pot Pension System, which was designed to offer a way for workers to access a portion of their savings to settle debts. She cautions that while it may seem like a solution, it might not provide the significant relief that many hope for.
