During the day the street lights are on then some nights they off. Its unnecessary waste of electricity that get charged to residents. It can't take months for them to see what lights work and what don't.

The street lights outside our business has not worked for over a year. Entering and exiting the premises in the evenings is very dangerous.

CoE does no repairs and keep using covid 19 as the excuse for their lack of service to the tax payers

Victor Dias (Delville Germiston , 2021-01-28)

I am sick and tired of being kept in the dark as an honest ratepayer. We expect a return for our investment in the municipality. Lack of service delivery in its highest form!

Street lights are essential in helping to curb crime. The crime in our area is escalating due to the fact that criminals move around without being seen.

Donald Bowler (Germiston , 2021-01-29)

When street lights are out it allows for criminal activity which has happened I personally have had 3 incidents.. Some street lights are on day and night so it is using unnecessary power in the day and then we must tolorate loadshedding.... Unacceptable. This council needs to get there shit together. REMEMBER we as residents PAY your salaries...

Sick and tired of the 'No Service' ongoing power outages in my area.

Eldon Dicks (Germiston, 2021-01-29)

#64

The non delivery of services from CoE to repair our street lights which I have been reporting regularly for more than a year speaks to the extremely poor service delivery from CoE. And our constant electricity outages is another serious complaint which receives little or no attention. We are expected to pay for services timeously and promptly but CoE does not deliver services in the time stipulated, so as usual this a one way street and the ratepayers suffers. The Mayor obviously does not care because if he did the issues would be attended to promptly. There is only one way to resolve this, vote out the none performing incompetent people who do not care about the community but only want to line their pockets and vote in competent people who will sort it the issues and work for the community.

Iain Stephen (Germiston, 2021-01-29)

It costs a fortune to live in Germiston. The most expensive services, rates and taxes! However no customer service, half the time no electricity or electricity surges. We are trying to run business and it’s almost impossible. I have had to let staff go simply to be able to afford to survive. The ANC Councillors give no feedback.

Gail Gibson (Germiston , 2021-01-29)

I am the resident in the area and street lights are part of safety issues

Mashego Mogashoa (Parkhill Gardens, 2021-01-29)

#72

Power outrages are becoming annoying which is happening more often...the street light in front of our house is not working for more then 3 years, tired of complaining. Our complains go on deaf ears (no attention is given to services that have to be rendered)

All taxes must be paid (that also in full) but no proper services are provided. How sad....

Muhammad Saeed Pandor (Germiston, 2021-01-29)

Dorothy Ann Trudgeon (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#91

It's unsafe to not have street lights especially since Germiston has constant outages generally

Julie Jones (Germiston, 2021-02-05)

#95

I agree with the sentiments in the statement above. We the tax-payers are not getting the services we pay for. Due to this crime is on the rise again, and many of us now live in fear within our own suburbs and our own homes.
This is not acceptable.

Richard Wicht (Germiston, 2021-02-13)

We have been in darkness for months. Our street lights have been off for months despite reporting and getting reference numbers. We are note safe in our homes because of the dark streets.

Erica Dube (Germiston , 2021-02-13)

#101

One of the main reasons I chose this home, and feel so safe in it, is the reassuring light of the streetlight outside our gate. Please keep them in good repair for us, it makes a huge difference in our safety, comfort and happiness. Thank you so much.

#116

I have logged complaints about the street lights on the Ekurhuleni app with absolutely no response. It is a danger to our community especially with the crime rate on the rise. I want to feel safe in my own neighborhood but with so many streetlight not working it is an open invitation for these criminals.

Sharon Kennaird (Germiston, 2021-02-13)

I am not receiving the service I pay for. If this was a company giving this kind of service, I would be able to move to the competition!

Julie Blackburn (Germiston , 2021-02-13)

#123

It is not safe without street lights. Remember this is South Africa, one of the unsafest countries in the world. AND citizen pay taxes for these lights, therefore it should be repaired.

Tessa Kupke (Germiston , 2021-02-13)

#125

Very little street light are working. When you drive around at night....the roads are very dark... just right for bad people to hide and break into houses.

Erika Venter (Germiston, 2021-02-14)

My street is in darkness with exception of my own gate lights - IF we have power.
The power is not reliable - between loadshedding & constant problems with cables & substations being broken into, etc. it’s never ending.
