Warning to consumers

Eskom has warned the community to be careful when purchases energy efficient products.

This comes on the tail of claims that Eskom is in partnership with a company called Gimme Power CC and/or any other company that claims to sell a product which reduces electricity consumption.

This is not true.

Furthermore, the company is personal selling, among others, a product termed “electric buddy” which is purportedly approved by Eskom as being energy efficient.

At no stage did Eskom endorse Gimme Power as a company working in partnership with Eskom, or the “electric buddy” or any of Gimme Power’s products to be energy-saving.

Thus the conduct of distributing marketing material stating that Gimme Power is in partnership with Eskom or that Eskom has approved any of Gimme Power’s products as being energy-efficient is not only false but misleading to the public.

Eskom is not associated with any of the company’s products or promotional/marketing material.
