The constant power outages are an inconvenience to us.

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#12

Had enough of the constant power issues and the same time they disconnect your electricity for a account that is not even 15 days over due

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#15

The situation with regular extended power outage in our area is beyond acceptable. It is time that EMM step up and deliver the service we as residents pay for. Or the MMC must intervene and send a energy action team to fix the issues, not just investigate and investigate

Service is pathetic no maintenance on I frastructure .constant power outage due die “maintenance and sub stations that so called blow up” where does the rate payers money go to! Power more off than anything else yet you do not see the reduction in the electricity bill at month end

(Delville, 2019-02-10)

#17

I'm fed up with Ekurhuleni and their incompetance in servicing the rate payers

(Delville, 2019-02-10)

#19

Power is out often and for long periods of time

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#20

I diligently pay pay rates and power accounts every month and expect to receive the services I pay for!

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#25

The power situation is an absolute joke, no power for more than 24 hours, different stories and I would like to know who is going to be held accountable for our inconvenience, is it due to lack of maintenance or if the rent a room is the problem? Does council check up and demoslish the structures when the court says so? We just need answers as to understand and stop being lied to

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

I run an old age home and power outages are a life or death matter due to my patients relying on electricity for oxygen etc

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#30

The service delivery in Germiston is so poor that there are no service. They can erect a R 6 million toilets at the lake that looks like crap and are not properly though through with slippery tiles. But can't keep infrastructure in tack. But no let's build toilets. That money could have been spend on upgrading sub stations. I think the people at the top are very incompetent people in a position were they shouldn't be at all.

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#31

I feel we are paying alot of money for services we are not getting. Our area is always having power cuts. Its riduculous.

(Parkhill gardens germiston, 2019-02-10)

Because I want to see change.
We can not go on like this.

(Lambton Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#34

We are sick and tired of the constant outages and resultant losses. My husband followed the technician to the box who in a matter of a few seconds put in a rod and switched it on. Yet we told its cable restoration. It's bullshit. Enough is enough.

(Webber Germiston, 2019-02-10)

Sick and tired of electrical surges. I am replacing all my lights regularly. As pensioners we can’t keep this up. At least twice a month we don’t have electricity for some hours

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#38

Our food goes off in fridge and our appliances stop working. We pay for this service after all is said and done.

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

The excuses we receive are no longer acceptable. I insist on a credit on my rates & and taxes for every day we go without our services

The power outages is impacting negatively on teaching and learning at the school. 52 times in 2018. Already 5 to date for 2019.

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#47

Despite being someone that does not default on payment, services are interrupted which costs money and causes damage. There must be accountability for the lack of service delivery and maintenance which results in these outages.

(Hazel Park, 2019-02-10)

Sick and tired of pathetic service delivery

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

#54

The power outages are causing havoc -loss of income, food that goes to waste, increase in road accidents, people with babies Ann's those that need three use of life support machines etc. suffer as a result. Not fair to all of us partying for the service. As bad as the Council's refugee removal system.

(Germiston, 2019-02-10)

There has been a marked increase in demand for services in the area due to "shack farming" and illegal connections.
Buildings are being built without proper planning procedures being followed. There has also been NO VISIBLE UPGRADE to the Infrastructure. (Including Energy, Water & Sanitation). We are running on infrastructure as it was in 2004!!!
EMM Metro needs to address these urgently.

(Germiston, 2019-02-11)

Poor service delivery . Too many times without electricity for long periods several times a month. Infrastucture too old. Extreme cost to residents

(Germiston, 2019-02-11)

#73

Our electronic devices are getting damaged and out food in our fridges are going off not to talk about the security issue when your power is off.

(Germiston, 2019-02-11)

#74

Ongoing power outages has caused loss of foods and products preserved by fridges, caused large amounts of inconvenience to us as tax payers and resulted in the death of several of our fish, power outages also tend to damage electricity appliances.

(Germiston, 2019-02-11)

#76

Fed up with constant power outages. Something needs to be done about the farm shacking as the grid is clearly not capable of handling the extra electricity pressure.

(Germiston, 2019-02-11)

Tired of relentless power outages

(Germiston, 2019-02-11)

I'm signing because I'm tired of having my food go off with the lack of electricity, having my gate motor not working and ultimately breaking down after each power failure and also the lack of security on my property when there is no electricity.

I am a teacher at Galway Primary school and the loadshedding and constant power outages has an extremely negative impact on the work and content that has to be covered.

(Germiston, 2019-02-12)

I pay a service fee every month yet there is no service. The items meaning the electrical equipment that get damaged I have to pay for. . Incompetent plus theft is not delt with.

(Germiston, 2019-02-12)

#90

I'm signing because it is ridiculous that we more and more for electricity every year, and the money is not used to improve the infrastructure. We are living in constant fear and discomfort at the hands of the people who are eating our hard earned income.

(Germiston, 2019-02-18)

#104

I am singing because for too long our community has been subjected to unscheduled power outages due to poor or no maintenance or outdated equipment, with no or little feedback or accountability from council to stop this recurring service delivery ineptitude.

(Germiston, 2019-02-18)

#106

The ongoing power outages is unacceptable for rate and tax payers!

It is my constitutional right to basic services especially when I pay for them. Looting and corruption needs to end. As a taxpayer my money is not there to be stolen.

(Germiston, 2019-02-18)

#123

Because failure to provide services is theft when inpay my rates and taxes. And as a taxpayer we deserve our services to be working.

(Germiston, 2019-02-18)

#125

I pay my bills so why should I be cut!

(Hazelpark, 2019-02-18)

#126

Eskom and its Municipality counterpart's priorities , planning and skills are distorted. International Standards in terms of risks managenent, quality management and best practices are totally ignored.

(Ekhuruleni, 2019-02-18)

#129

Some people are on permanent oxygen how must they cope? How must we prepare food? How must the children do there homework and learn for exams? Most importantly we are on pre paid already pay for the electricity we going to use and then there is nothing.

(Estera, 2019-02-18)

(Germiston, 2019-02-18)

#134

I am not happy about state of affairs that incompetent, unskilled persons are running everything into the ground. Regardless of possible loss of lifes, loss of income that will result in job losses. We can't sit in die dark with our high rate of crime. This municipality, Eskom and ANC government are letting the people down.

(Germiston, 2019-02-18)
