Secure, Repair & Restore, and Maintain Electricity

Dear Residents,

We are deeply concerned about the recent power outages that have affected your area for more than 10 continuous days. We understand the massive losses that you have incurred as a result of this situation, and we sympathize with the difficulties that you are facing.

We are also aware that the power outages have led to an increase in crime in the affected areas, as security systems cannot operate without electricity. This is unacceptable, and we believe that urgent action needs to be taken to address this situation.

We are calling on the government and municipal authorities to take appropriate steps to secure assets such as power stations, sub-stations, transformers, and cables. We demand that the highest possible priority be given to apprehend and detain saboteurs and thieves who are responsible for the destruction of these assets.

Furthermore, we demand that power be restored to the affected areas by means of alternative energy sources until the transformers, cables, and substations are repaired. This is an urgent matter that requires immediate attention.

We have set up an automated digital petition to gather support for this cause. The petition is easy to use and can be completed on social media platforms, emails, and WhatsApp. We will ensure that the petition is legally delivered to the mayor of City of Johannesburg.

We urge you to sign the petition and show your support for this cause. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that the necessary steps are taken to address this situation.

Sincerely,

Zelna Oberholster
Resident of Houghton Estate
