Germiston South Constant Power Outages 2021

Sick and tired of not receiving the services that we pay for. If it's not the water being cut- off, load shedding then its the regular cable faults/ theft leaving us plunged into darkness for hours and days on end. Our electronics get damaged, loss of food that is now spoilt and must be thrown away. All this whilst we are on constant lockdown. I'm doing my best to put food on my table after losing my job on lockdown, I started a small business and already I have lost customers as I cannot send quotes, emails don't come through. I don't have the luxury of owning a generator. I am so tired of the incompetence. Cyril Ramaphosa stated that no load shedding will take place on lockdown. Well that was a lie just like every other lie added to the list from the 26 yrs this ANC has been the ruling party. When is enough going to be enough and citizens, irrespective of colour, class, culture going to stand together and take to the streets and take this head on?

Tired of power outages and damages caused to my electrical appliances. Insurance excesses getting out of hand and I cannot afford this anymore

...apart from all the usual problems associated with power outages we have the added complication that Covid 19 has forces my wife to work from home.

Every time that the power is out there is more pressure on her.

Please fix it!

The repeated number of power outages is unacceptable and very disruptive. We have
to work from home bit this is impossible with the outages. Our freezers defrost and we loose all our food with no compensation

#511

We have non stop problems with electricity delivery in Dinwiddie. We have been off more than 10 times in the last month. This is totally ridiculous, are there no Service Level Agreements in place for the delivery of electricity in this municipality?

#521

Enough is enough... we have prepaid electricity why should we be off 90% of the time... these powers cuts are not on.... sometimes we are off 36 hours at a time.... ESPECIALLY DURING A PANDEMIC!!!!!

Kim Nel (Germiston, 2021-01-29)

#522

We have constant power outages due to lack of maintenance, or the necessary knowledge. This is really becoming annoying. Our electronic equipment cannot handle this kind of abuse and people cannot work from home. Can we get this problem fixed a.s.a.p. It is bad enough that we have loadshedding due to mismanagement of funds at Eskom and lack of maintenance. Thank you.

Magdalena Ferero (Germiston, 2021-01-29)

Stay home they say, save lives they say, yet they can’t be bothered to upgrade the infrastructure or maintain it.

#566

I run a business from home. I have my elderly parents living with me. Apart from the inconvenience, no power makes us a sitting target for criminals. The alarm does not work, the phone's batteries run down, not to mention the fridges which keep on defrosting, the appliances can not take the on off of the consistent power failures

Gayedene Labuschagne (Germiston, 2021-01-29)

#570

These power outages we are having for the past 4 weeks is caused by municipality sending incompetent and unprofessional people to fix the problem, hence it is never permanently fixed....food in our freezers defrost and goes off. But they don't care, cause it's not coming out off their pockets. Absolutely RIDICULOUS!

Caileen Jaykaran (Germiston, 2021-01-29)

#586

This is completely unacceptable! We demand that something be done about the power situation. This has gone on for far too long now and our appliances aren't able to withstand this amount of power outages

Lynn Kloppers (Germiston, 2021-01-29)

#589

We are tired of constantly being with out power for days at a time which is mostly longer than 12 hours each time. Our food in the freezer gets thawed out and cannot be used due to the fact that it it is no longer safe to use . Who is going to reimburse us for all that food? We are not able to work normal hours because of covid restrictions and earn enough money . Our tropical fish are stressed without oxygen and heat and die in the process. The electronic and electrical items in our homes stop working because the stop start situation of the power outages cause them to fail and we have to replace them. Who is going to reimburse us for these items? Our aged mother of 89 years has to be subjected to the lack of proper meals which is really not fair to her either. Why should she be without warm food? We do not have proper security because our our electric fence and our security lighting is not operational when the power is off. Finally, those in my family who have to work at home and do their business at home due to covid, cannot do any work and earn a living which is absolutely unacceptable. Who is going to reimburse them for that? They cannot go to work and they are not paid for that time without power. The municipality does not seem to care how it is affecting us and continue to give us bogus excuses and reasons for the lack of electricity and how long it will be before it is working again. That is not acceptable at all.
