Resolving the regular power outages needs to be a priority for the municipality. Appoint competent leaders and technical experts to solve the issue. You are affecting our assets, work, businesses, livelyhoods and appliances. Come on!

Power outages are a weekly occurrence and become costly regarding loss of income for businesses, loss of residence foodstuff etc.

These regular power outages are annoying and inconvenient. Negatively affects our lifestyle, appliances are damaged and food goes to waste.

We are really tired of all the power outages in Alberton, we are paying our rates and taxes on time every month and in return we expect a proper service from Ekurhuleni.

I am sick of paying taxes and not getting what i pay for.

It’s becoming more and more regular. Always on a weekend or right before. This is unacceptable. We never had this problem before they decided to over populate this town by allowing the constant building of townhouses etc...

The infrastructure of our town has crumbled to almost nothing, due to mismanagement. We need to be given a real working forecast of how this is going to be corrected and maintained - and
adhered to.

Sick and tired of having to put up with increasing electricity costs while the service is getting worse and worse simply because this cANCerous government keeps thieving and lining their own pockets.

John Paulsen (Alberton, 2021-05-16)

#56

The ongoing power outage just shows how incompetent Ekurhuleni is to keep power on for no longer than a week at a time. Sitting without power for either 17 hours or 14 hours. It is a disgrace and pathetic. This is now a year that I have been residing in Raceview and considering moving to Thokoza were the lights are at least on

Nicolette Labuschagne (Alberton , 2021-05-16)

I'm tired of permanent weekly power outages and no service delivery. Alberton Ward106 is a disaster!

Beryl Munk-Nielsen (Alberton, 2021-05-16)

#79

I demand basic services. I believe that the city doesn't maintain and upgrade essential services as the city grows. We pay our rates and taxes, and therefore demand we get the basic essential services.

Duncan Rens (Alberton, 2021-05-16)

#82

I am sick and tired of paying rates and taxes and nothing is done to maintain the infrastructure in our area. This goverment that looks after CoE is not capable to do any good for its residents even basic refuse collection is a mess and outsourced

naas Marais (Alberton , 2021-05-16)

#83

We pay rates and taxes yet there are no services.

Christine Jacobs (Alberton, 2021-05-16)

#85

Why do we pay Rates & Taxes if our Council does not deliver a service? There should be a total upgrade of our infrastructure !!! Especially infrastructure of the Electric systems.

Andries Grobbelaar (Alberton., 2021-05-16)

#86

I am signing this petition to ensure that the Executive Mayor of the metro is held accountable for the continual power outages experienced in Alberton due to poor infrastucture and maintenance. The misuse of public funds and tax payers funds is un acceptable and is the root cause of the poor service delivery in this country which has so much potential but is being bled dry by corrupt and incompetent officials !

Cedric Moodley (New Market, 2021-05-16)

#89

Alberton is starting to fall apart due to the inability of that ANC to manage anything. They are a bunch of thieves that steal rather than build. Please give a plan of how you would attempt upskill yourself in understanding the concept of maintenance.

Charl Van Niekerk (Alberton, 2021-05-16)

#92

You want to increase the rates and taxes, electricity, water etc yet we do not get the service from the municipality. Start doing your jobs properly and maintaining all the things we pay for . DISGUSTING 🤮 SERVICE ( I mean non service)

Freda Wassink (Alberton, 2021-05-16)

#93

I demand that the Mayor publishes the plan to eliminate unplanned power outages and give confidance to business and private residents of electricity service delivery.

David Crombie (Alberton, 2021-05-16)

Manfred Tepper (Alberton, 2021-05-16)

#112

I'm signing because I am totally unhappy that electricity rates keep going up but there is no reliability. And because ESKOM has been plundered by greed and state capture

Vernon Viljoen (Alberton, 2021-05-17)

#117

I am an Alberton resident for the past 25 years and the power outages have become increasingly unfair on the community as a whole. Why are we paying for a service that we are not receiving. Power outages every week is unacceptably.

I’m fed up with power outages

John McArdle (Alberton, 2021-05-17)

#130

I'm sick of the constant electricity outages. It's beyond ridiculous! The constant blaming of contractors digging up the roads for fibre instead of banning them from working when they constantly cut our power is unacceptable. The council is also happy to continue to allow new housing developments to be built when the current infrastructure is already overburdened and too old. No upgrades are being done and no maintenance. We just keep putting a plaster over a gaping wound. We pay our rates every month and have to put up with pathetic service delivery. Street lights not working, potholes, rubbish collected late or sometimes never, sewerage running into the road etc...

Fern Ostrowick (Alberton, 2021-05-17)

#141

We pay to have service which is interupted regularly. We work from home and this interuption in service influances our productivity.

I moved to Alberton 3 years ago from Edenvale. I have regret this decision because of all the power failures that have happened 1 to 3 times a month in New Market Park. My 1st experience of this was when there was an interruption that nearly lasted 3 days. Promises were made by the council to install sensors that would alert them when the cables were being digged up/stolen? Empty promises! Then there is the contractors that install the fibre and the new hospital that is responsible for the power interruptions? Surely there must be contingency plans or preventative measures that can be taken to supervise these people to make sure they do not put half of Alberton in the dark?
Because of Covid I am working from home and my daughter who is a university student also does everything online as well. These power interruptions has a very detrimental effect on everyone.
My daughter goes to a family member in Edenvale when she has to write her online tests because of all the power interruptions. I have to work my time in, miss meetings etc. Not to talk about the negative effect these electrical cut offs have on our electrical appliances, tvs, laptops etc has. I don't even want to know how much the companies in Alrode are suffering because of the overall incompetency , lack of accountability, corruption etc of the Alberton Ekhurleni department! Why must we pay for services that is so poor and unacceptable!

Shaun Niemand (Alberton, 2021-05-19)

#167

We have had way too many power disruptions which lasts for hours. We have school going children whose maintenance, health and academic needs are compromised. Also, our appliance lifespan is affected and some have already needed replacing. The complex we live in had to have electronics of the main fate replaced based on the surge constantly. Also, based on unreliable power issues, we invested in a few solar lights for the common areas. Funding is tight, else we would have a more comprehensive solar coverage in the common areas. But as residents, we still need power for our homes.

Nashin Jaikharan (Alberton, 2021-05-19)

These continuous power interruptions are totally unacceptable, it is high time that the City of Ekhuruleni get their ducks in a row and ensure that ongoing planned maintenance on infrastructure is done to prevent the poor excuse of faulty equipment. This is an epic failure on their part. Time to get their house in order.

Rodney De Bruin (Alberton, 2021-05-31)

We are tires of the Load shedding we have, and also the load shedding we are not supposed to have. We get cut of more than any other area. We need to get the right educated people to work on our substations. Our substations blow up cery often.. End the Power Cuts, end Load shedding
