Electricity outages is getting out of hand now. This must be sorted now

There’s not a week that goes by where the electricity cables aren’t stolen. No preventative measures are being taken by those in charge even though the hotspots where cables are being stolen have been identified.

Lack of service delivery in this country on basic needs

Yegalan Tippru (Benoni, 2023-04-11)

Sad to know that every citizen either pays levy or rates and taxes,yet our area looks worse than an informal settlement
Where is all our hard earned money going to
We do our duty as citizens but its time the government and our counsellor starts pulling there weight
This is nonsense
We need answers and we need change
Also,No offense to any one but maybe if every area around us had loadshedding we wouldn't be overloaded all the time.
We've been living in Mackenzie park for over 20 years and this place looks terrible
There is more effort coming from our community then our counsel
Which is highly appreciated bt at the same time very unfair

Aqeela Fazel (Johannesburg, 2023-04-11)

I am a resident of Mackenzie Park and have lost many household appliances and thousands of rands worth of food to the constant loadshedding shedding and cable theft. Thieves target this area in a daily basis and this is no exaggeration. The community is becoming more agitated everyday and I fear that the the end result will not be a good one unless this damn Government and municipality actually do their jobs and root out this criminals.

We the residents of MacKenzie park have been without power since 2am this morning.
Cables stolen once again, within the last month Cables stolen 4 times from the same spot.
This is frustrating and becoming unbearable to deal with. Ekurhuleni needs to do something about this immediately. At the end it's costing us to keep repairing and replacing appliances. Food needs to be thrown away, we losing on everything and times are thought on every one.
We need a permanent solution to this crisis

#85

The ongoing outages are not getting sorted out. We are tax and rate paying citizens but we get treated as if we don't pay for services. We pay and it is council and government job to provide the service they paying for.
If they fail they should start expecting rates and tax revolts.

Luqmaan Hajat (Benoni , 2023-04-11)

#89

We should be exempt from load shedding in the area due to constant theft of electrical cables.

#95

Bec of the continuous power outages that can last up to 16 hours at a time due to cable theft on an almost weekly basis & then to still experience loadshedding almost immediately after the power has been restored. It is downright unacceptable that we are paying not only our taxes, property rates that have tripled overnight and astronomical electricity bills due to such huge increases in tariffs and yet we are suffering to no end.

Salma Jeebhai (Benoni , 2023-04-11)

#96

I’m signing the petition because due to loadshedding every week or twice a week our cables are being stolen please please help us🙏🙏

Zaynib Khan (Benoni, 2023-04-11)

#97

I'm signing because I am tired of struggling with either no power or else there's no water or low water pressure.
Don't even talk about the struggles related to the collection of our refuse. Then there's the plethora of potholes throughout Mackenzie Park

Grass has not been cut in almost a year with grass standing more than a meter high.

Things have become worser and worser over the last few months.
The counsel and staff see that there is an issue in terms of cable theft, yet they do nothing to mitigate this but want that rates and taxes and any other fees be paid on time.

What happens to all this money becusdoit certainly doesn't get used to provide the services as required.

Zaynudeen Mansoor (Benoni, 2023-04-11)

#99

We are constantly affected by power outages and 90% of the time it is due to cable theft. I think that the government is not doing enough to stop this crime from happening. I also do have ideas on stopping this. Our police can go to surrounding scrap yards to find out if they bought copper cables and inform them of this situation so in that way the thiefs will not be able to sell the cables.

Mahomed Saif Shaik (Benoni, 2023-04-11)

We had enough of the power outage, poor water supply and almost no waste removal, the long grass in parks which provides a save hiding place for criminals, also the uncut grass on pavements is dangers for road users and pedestrians, we pay for services and it must be provided.

#132

I'm signing because cable theft over and above loadshedding means most of the day without electricity. This has become an everyday occurrence and is not acceptable. Crime has increased in our community more especially when there are power outages. Measures need to be put in place to curb cable theft.

It has become unbearable due the theft of electricity cables. This occurs on a weekly and we have no electricity for hours on end and have to contend load shedding.
