Cable thefts are happening too often and within days of each other. Disruptive and inconvenient, poses security risk with alarms off and costs money to replace refrigerated items.

(Boksburg, 2019-01-14)

I believe that not enough is done about service delivery in Boksburg. The council is in a shambles and must be shaken up in order to deliver efficient services

#75

We have power outages almost 2-3 times a month on top of the Eskom Loafshedding outages, due to cable theft in my area Beyerspark, ext 4. It is rediculous. It is the same area that they keep stealing from. It is the Municipality’s responsibility to safeguard or install these cables in such a way that it cannot be stolen. It must be costing us a fortune to keep re-installing the same cables. We as ratepayers have to pay the bill.

(Beyerspark, 2019-01-14)

(Bardene, Boksburg, 2019-01-14)

#139

I am signing this because I agree that the frequency of cable theft leaving us without power for extensive periods of time is unacceptable. Action needs to be taken to properly secure the cables making theft impossible and as it has been the same area again and again patrols should be put in place to ward off these criminals who should be apprehended and dealt with through the justice system.

It is extremely difficult when electricity gets cut off at random times due to cable theft. Combined with load shedding working is impossible. And when you work from home electricity shortage causes severe time and money losses. This could have been prevented.
Regular inspections and maintenance of electricity boxes will also help.
Please do your work as you should! We need to get pride in our work back. The electricity workers are really extremely important and they should be told so. Do team work courses so your departments can work more efficiently and effectively and also have pride in their work. Even the cleaner has to be told how important her/his job is. What would our Municipalities look like if they did not have pride in what they are doing.
Please treat everyone with the dignity they deserve. Then maybe we will have less power cuts due to cable theft.

(Boksburg, 2019-01-14)

#157

I'm fed up with having to sit 24-48hours without electricity despite paying my municipality bills on time!!! Who compensates us for food gone bad??? What is being done to ensure the thieves don't steal the cables again? Fresh cables laid so close to the surface again and again. Look into the workers who keep replacing. Maybe they are the ones stealing ? Why are scrap yards not being searched. Etc etc. I have no hope

(Boksburg, 2019-01-14)

#158

I'm gat vol of council not taking responsibility for the continuous power outages. They need to get security sorted for the cable theft.

This stealing of cables is nonsense, we as residence of Boksburg are fedup being without electricity , it cost money to replace the cables where as the money could have been spend on more serious issues such as infrastructure and fixing the roads that are riddle with potholes

(Boksburg, 2019-01-14)

#168

We are sick and tired of having no electricity for days on end.
When we call, and the neighbours call to report problems, each one gets a different reason why there is no electricity. I feel we are being lied to.
I sign this petition because I can not see why this problem of cable theft can not be resolved on a permanent basis. This is negligence, trying to fix or replace cables and just leave it there to be stolen again? And again?
Who is paying fit the cable thieves to get rich, and scrap metal buyers? Knowing it is City property should be dealt with!
It is high time we demand action to be taken in this regard.
