@kavsmwenswa...Taxes with a sprinkle of electricity πŸ˜‚ #kplc

@Moha001_Onyango...Bought KPLC tokens for 1000 bob and only got 49 units. Used to get 58 units back in the days but what shocked me the most was that 622 bob went into taxes.

Even Escom in Mzansi doesn't charge this much. This is a rip-off.
