My livelihood depends on electricity as I work from home at night, i am a single mother of 2 children, one of them is home schooled. When we have no electricity I am forced to drive to Brakpan to use a friends electricity and drive these dangerous roads alone in the middle of the night back home again with my children. It is effecting us financially and mentally.Michelle Booysen (Boksburg , 2023-08-02)

Kempton is an absolute shambles. At least when the DA was in charge we knew things were being done and we also knew that the sabotage was interferring with the progress. We haven't once heard from the new mayor. I'm sick of paying for non existing servicesClarissa Hewitt (Kempton Park, 2023-08-02)

Its absolutely disgraceful that areas are out of water and power for days at a time especially when its both and yet residents are paying for these services. It is an essential and basic human rights need so should be seen as a matter of urgency, in some cases it might be a matter of life or death!Michelle Dos Santos (Edenvale, 2023-08-02)

1. The high number of area power outages.2. Slow response times and lack of staff available after hours to restore electricity/ respond to outages.
3. The high incidence of cable and equipment theft and vandalism during loadshedding and unplanned power outages.
4. The high number of illegal electricity connections and by-passed meters throughout the City.
5. The lack of security measures to protect City of Ekurhuleni Energy personnel. infrastructure, and network.
6. Lack of water as a result of the absence of back-up power generators at water pump stations during loadshedding and/or extended power outage

#1046
I am tired of the delays when there is a power outage, no feedback from the energy department. We as paying residents have the right to be informed as to the reason for the outage and what action has or will be take. We also need to be updated, the call centre is of no use as often do not even answer the call. The teams take days to locate the fault and then often claim the have no money to purchase the items needed to repair the power.Rowland Deetlefs (Germiston , 2023-08-02)
#1047
We pay extreme rates but have no services due to lack of electricity we lose food and the continuous on and off of power is doing great damage to our appliances we don't earn enough to support this habitErika Venter (Boksburg, 2023-08-02)

The lack of service delivery is not worth mentioning as the ANC are not able to understand their ability to apply linear thoughts and planing not to mention corruption and inability to apply logic.

Incompetent municipality, waited for 5 days to adhere to complain of faulty circuit breaker, service delivery non existing, street lights not working for more than year. Potholes and roadsurface worst ever, no maintenance on drainsRiana Swanepoel (Germiston, 2023-08-02)
#1092
I am signing simply because of the infringement of our basic human right's, no service delivery provided. The abuse of power by the municipal individuals who treat these departments as their PTY ltd companies, even worse they don't attend even reported matters that have reference numbers. It's absurdSiyabonga Tonga (Ekurhuleni , 2023-08-02)
#1094
We are directly affected by prolonged response times related to electricity outages. We have been without access to electricity due to cable faults for up to 3 weeks. Energy Department, Hotline and Customer Services have proven to be of no assistance getting the matter resolved. Poor communication received from those relevant services made it extremely difficult.There are a number of ramifications to the people occupying properties without electricity. Tenants are even more vulnerable and unable to get assisted. The costs that have to be absorbed for gas tanks, petrol, airtime and food wastage are exponential. It is of paramount importance to improve service delivery and work towards a more stable and sustainable infrastructure.

#1104
The Executive Mayor is bragging about what a great job he is doing in his first 100 days, whilst his citizens don't have electricity which they are paying for, for almost 50% of the month and he and the National Assembly are delusional as to the real state of affairs in Ekurhuleni and South AfricaRoan Bantjes (Wychwood, 2023-08-02)

Water is an essential means of living. By not maintaining our Electricity supply and protecting us, the paying citizens who pay all services, the non paying citizens are supported by the councils and still receive all services in an illegal way. Services are regular interrupted because of lacks of funds and manpower.Why not invest in security sources to stop unnecessary losses and enforce law and order?

WE are paying for electricity that we dont have. For street lights that's not working for months on end. For cable theft, EVERY MONTH END, for the last 3 months. SURELY someone must switch the circuit breaker OFF, to be able to cut and steal the cables....Esme Venter (Springs, 2023-08-02)
#1127
The electricity need to be sorted as the outages are extreemly. They need to address the illegal dwellings and connections in our area. They failed too do so and we as residents are forced to pay for services that we are not receiving. We as resodents are tired of the corrupt way of their technicians. If you refuse to pay an on site fee, they will not fix the problem leaving us in the dark, until one of the few honorable technisions assist. Corruption runs through every department of Ekurhuleni.Amanda-marie Knoester (Germiston, 2023-08-02)
