We are tired of being without electricity. Our areas are affected on a weekly basis. This is getting very frustrating for small business and our economy suffers more and more.

Please solve our power problems, as more meat and vegetables go to the rubbish bin. This is a concern, not a joke being without power every week. And nothing get done, forever struggling to get to complain. Time that this get solved. We pay, then we want delivery, not take away, or sit in the dark and cold due to bad services. If not power then bins, but mostly power. Fix it.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

All the power outages is not normal, something needs to be done about it. I cannot have no power all the time.

(germiston, 2019-07-01)

#415

Service delivery is on an all-time low and it is unacceptable the way everything in this country is being managed, or mismanaged, should I say. We pay for this service and don't receive it. Sort this out, please.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#418

Tired of continuous power outages. Our Gate Motor and small appliances have had to be replaced... Amongst other things....

(Dinwiddie, 2019-07-01)

Hazel Park is constantly out of power. Our household appliances, security systems, security in general and increased insurance premiums are all at risk. A proper independent audit needs to be done; is there a genuine issue or is there a fraudulent tender issue.

.... We are, and have been for years, frequently without power for long periods of time. Call centre, and EMM, responses have often been poor.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#438

We are experiencing constant power trips. It is very frustrating as I do a lot of work and studying after hours. My progress is hampered greatly by this issue.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#441

Tired of bad service when it comes to electricity and the exorbitant pricing and cost that goes with it. Also poor communications to the councillors that give us the feed back. They think we are all stupid and do not know what happens in the background.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#442

This power outages are utterly ridiculous.
Its an ingoing thing that does not stop. And no other areas are battling like us

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

Incompetent people should be removed and others need to understand the meaning of maintanence

(germiston, 2019-07-01)

#449

I am sick and tired of having no electricity not to mention all the electrical appliances that I have had to replace.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#450

All the power outages

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#453

All the power outages are grossly affecting economic growth for our city and our country and government needs to start taking positive action in doing the right thing and putting the right preventative measures in place.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#454

Unexpected power outages in the Lambton area are rapidly increasing, with little answers on why and what the resolution plan is. Urgent action must be taken to understand why we have these outages and how we can prevent them or mitigate their impact on paying residents.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#457

The power outages are causing a lack of work... companies are forced to close early as without power work cannot be put out.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

These frequent extended blackouts are gross incompetence and are beyond pathetic .

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#461

The unstable electricity that has been going on for the past few months, if not years is becoming beyond a joke. There was a meeting with MMC earlier this year and all promises were made (as they usually do it to make people keep quiet). These promises have not been met. There is illegal shack farming and illegal connections going on within the Ekurhuleni sector. As we know this is a country wide problem, but nothing seems to be done about it. We, as citizens of the Germiston community request that a meeting with the Mayor and all other parties be arranged. One of the points that were made by the energy department is that audits are being done. I ask when are those being done? And what happens after those audits are done? I also suggest that the entire municipality get audited and request that an inquest be made into fraud that is or could be going on. Clearly someone is getting paid under handedly to reconnect a residents house that has not paid for electricty, or, when they do these "audits" the contractors get paid off to not disconnect. It has become a security risk as this is peak time and a peak opportunity for crimes to take place.

I'm signing because we as a family is fed-up with the electricity and water that is constantly off. How do one make a living with 2 children? A baby? This is really unacceptable!!!

I am sick and tired of all the outages due to maintenance neglect by council. Street lights are not repaired either when reported.

(Elsburg, 2019-07-01)

#477

I am fed up with the constant power outages. We are not compensated for damages. The service is laughable.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#485

What happens to all the rates and taxes? And surely the Ekuruleni municipality put a mark-up on the electricity bought from ESKOM.... What happens to all the money? Obviously it doesn't get spend on maintenance on any power installations.

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#486

4 weeks ago we were advised about maintenance that would have been done. Ever since that Thursday once a week the power is off. This is unacceptable. Why must I pay for service we don't get

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#488

It’s unacceptable that we pay our electricity but it keeps going off. Where does our money go? Will they find a solution? Will they sort out the lack of service?

(Germiston, 2019-07-01)

#512

Firstly I would like to thank Ward Councillors Morgan and de Beer for always assisting me when I send them messages regarding the power outages. We have been off in total for almost 80 hours. The municipality has failed us tremendously, we never had this kind of issue and seems to getting worse. A total nightmare to say the least

(Germiston, 2019-07-02)

It is time that the Council is held accountable (financially)for these power outages. It is time they stop passing the buck. Why should we be held ransom to this complete incompetence and lack of caring from our local municipality.

We pay our bills on time, but we do not get the Service's we are entitled to. It is a disgrace and blatant disrespect towards us. Other areas do not have these problems. Why always SunnyRidge and surrounding areas. And there is never an explanation.
