I am signing because planning and maintenance of the electrical infrastructure has been neglected and needs to be fixed and caught up

Outages have become rediculous with no explanations

(Germiston, 2019-06-30)

#207

The power outages and power surges are becoming ridiculous. Affecting personal and business life.

(Germiston, 2019-06-30)

#209

The shocking electricity supply in our area.

(Germiston, 2019-06-30)

#210

The amount of times our electricity has gone off without any warning is beyond comprehension!! You live in fear daily as you try and keep your cell phone charged, start cooking or baking not knowing if you will get it done, worried about your safety when alarms and electric fences stop working, your food that is getting spoilt in your fridge while the power is off for more than 12 hours at a time!! We cannot carry on living like this!! Living in SA is already bad, and this makes it even worse!

We have been hit my no electricity constantly. Two weeks ago everynight

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#214

We are constantly subject to power outages more than twice a week for long periods of time with no explanations. We are tired of constantly dealing with these outages when other areas never see their lights out, only Germiston.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#216

It is ridiculous that we have constant power outages, no prior warnings and no sense of urgency in sorting out the issue so it does not keep re-occuring. Where are the competent technicians doing preventative maintenance?

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#218

Our business in wadeville also affected by the outages.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#220

No service deliver, water, power and pikitup

(Dinwiddie, 2019-07-01)

#222

I've had enough and demand answers. Trting the civil route first.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#225

SERVICE DELIVERY is NOT as it should be - Kindly discuss/escalate to our President Mr.Ramaphosa..Maybe he can do something about his dismal state of affairs!

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#227

I'm tired of all the nonsense and inconsistencies occurred and the loss of my perishables and damage to my appliances.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#228

The constant power failure is causing a huge financial strain due to the outages. We pay huge amounts to have ongoing electricity and yet we don't get the service.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#229

They power outages are occurring with unacceptable frequency due to a number of factors. Chief of which is lack of maintenance by the respective authorities. GIVE US A ENERGY SERVICE WORTHY OF THE NAME.
To put it bluntly - forget your parties and social policies for the moment and sort this ENERGY crisis out or our local economy will crash!!!!

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#232

I'm fed up with the ongoing power outages. The amount of times we are constantly without power is unacceptable.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#234

I am sick and tired of the regular power outages that affect our area. Please do proper maintenance on equipment.
Also provide DETAILED REGULAR feedback on what the problem is and ALWAYS provide an ETR

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#235

Constant power outage in area

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#237

I am fed up with the constant power outages that we experience, with no valid reasoning. Funny how the municipality can cut off your electricity if your bill isn't paid. This is a service which is we pay for!

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#240

We are constantly having power problems and no-one is doing anything about it.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#241

I am beyond gatvol of the issues that we are experiencing in service delivery and power outages. It is killing business, damaging equipment and just plainly driving us insane with anger and frustration

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#242

I'm a resident thst pays my municipal account and I am tired of being without power whilst those that do not contribute or pay live with the lights on

(Lambton, 2019-07-01)

#243

You fail to provide basic services like water, refuse removal and electricity in a consistent manner. Where are my taxes going?

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#248

I am losing work due to the constant power outages. I am constantly having to buy petrol for a generator with the resultant costs. It is going to be easier to close the business and retrench, while we look at relocation of the business in a country which has services that are cheaper and constant. It’s like this municipality wants to have people out of work.

Power outages becoming ridiculous, have to throw food away, replacing gate motors and damage on electrical appliances had ro replace a Television and light fittings, cannot do work on computer, had to replace the batteries of security systems because they were damaged during a surge, and cannot plan or invite friends and family over because there is a 90% chance that power will be off.

Had to rent a generator and buy fuel for own cost while you still pay full water and electricity bill but receive no service.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#254

I'm signing in because I'm sick and tired of having electricity outages and having high bills.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#255

I have had enough - please provide a solution!

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#257

As from today we are paying 15% more to electricity, water and waste removal and yet, we are getting less of these services, rite now the electricity is off in our area!! Waste does not get collected in time, to say you have truck problems is your problem! We pay for services which we do not get!

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#259

I had enough of the bad service of Ekhuruleni. I pay every month but every week there is no power

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#261

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#278

I am very unhappy that we have power outages on a regular basis. What is Eskom doing about it???????????

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#282

I am signing this because no one seems to care about the maintenance of the substations or the constant complaints about low voltage or power outage! Unacceptable! We pay out accounts on time but every month without fail, we are without power for at least one day! I dont see any discounts on my account for the inconvenience and unacceptableness of this!!!!

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#284

This issue is becoming ridiculous , we are without power more then we are with! I have my elderly grandparents living with me that need the basic necessities and we battle as we cannot use some of the equipment we need as it requires power, my gran is wheelchair ridden and we need to use a machine to lift her on and off the bed, this cause serious issues for us as it is very hard to pick her up otherwise. Both my husband and I work from home on our PC's and this affects our income aswell.

(Albemarle, 2019-07-01)

#287

We pay for electricity, not for some ass hole to sèe how much he can steal from us. Use the money for what it is intènded.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#301

Constant power outrageous affecting business

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#302

I am signing because this level of service is not acceptable by anyones standards. We have never not paid for our services, but if this continues we will definately have to explore legal ways to withhold payment until we receive the service we are paying for.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#303

I am tired of paying and we receive no service. More without power than we actually have power. But we pay every month

We pay a lot for a service which are failing most of the time. Getting up in the winter at 5 in the with no electricity is not funny. Please.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#316

Lately we are constantly without power in Norton Small Farms which receives power from Germiston. Some external assessment will shed some light on the real issue at hand.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

Fed fed fed up with constant power outages,for 30hours at a go with little to no communication

(Albemarle, 2019-07-01)

#325

I’m constantly affected by the power outage, I have small kids and for me it’s been very difficult without electricity. The people that get free minutes are never affected by electricity and us that pay such a huge rate and with no free minutes we forever don’t have electricity and it’s completely not fair !!!

(Albermale, 2019-07-01)

#326

I'm signing this petition because we have to pay for our electricity - municipality leaves street lights on DAY & NIGHT and we have to suffer!!!!
My elderly father is on oxygen and when the power is off he battles to breathe thanks to Ekurhuleni!!!
But all the "important" backhanders' power is on!!!!!
Get the competent people back and things might work!!!!
To employ a person just on skin color and not competence is ludicrous!!!!!!!
And who suffers... The tax payer because we pay and you take!!!!

(Gauteng, 2019-07-01)

#327

I'm sick & tired of all these power outages. It's unbelievable that this happens in this day & age. Not only is it annoying, inconvenient & frustrating, it is destroying my electrical appliances & no one is being held accountable for the loss of my property or owning up to being accountable for this expense.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#329

I, m signing this due to the fact that we currently have power outages almost on a daily basis. And our appliances are being damaged with the on and oof of th3 power and we also have to dispose of out frozen meat and croceries due the our freezers defrosting.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)
