We, the residents of Putfontien, (Ward 25) are continuously subjected to power outages due to cable theft, illegal connections and/or faulty substations in the area. The situation has become untenable, and we demand that the City of Ekurhuleni finds an urgent and permanent solution to the electricity crisis plaguing our suburbs.

We hereby petition the Water, Sanitation and Energy Committee in the City of Ekurhuleni, to conduct an investigation into the power outages in the area and provide solutions to reduce power outages in the ward.

I'm signing this petition because the electricity is so unreliable, and it's mainly due to cable theft, which is a huge problem in this area. We can plan around loadshedding, as terrible as that is, but we cannot plan with the amount of Power Outages we have, over and above the loadshedding, it is unbearable. Please come up with solutions to this PROBLEM!

Helen Brittain (Kempton Park , 2023-04-13)

This on and off all the time is, ruining appliances, TV, etc. Cant plan anything, lime dling washing, cooking, usual household chores. Collection of rubbish becoming an very big health hazard. No ater for days on end. We pay an awfulot of mkney for services, electricify costs are ridiculous when its off half the month. People are losing jobs thru no fault of there own. Theft is therefore increasing. And so i can go on. Something needs to be done drastically.

Barbara Jesseman (South Africa, 2023-04-13)

There’s a constant electricity, water and other service backlogs such as potholes not fixed despite us as residents reporting on these issues.

#66

It is unacceptable rates and levy's keeps increasing on everything but we have less and less use of what we are paying for

Carl Coetzer (Bredell Kempton park, 2023-04-13)

#67

Constant power outages and especially long outages because of cable theft and no maintenance. And then we are still subject to Loadshedding!!! 20 hours without power, on for 20 min and then Loadshedding! Surely this can be managed better!

Karen Pritzen (Pomona, 2023-04-13)

#69

I’m tired of bad service. Having to spend more money on generator than already required due to normal load shedding. Not being able to give my kids a warm bath.

Divk and tiered of continued power outages and water problems

Errol Pollitt (Kempton Psrk, 2023-04-13)

#73

I've been residing in Pomona for 3 years now.
We pay our electricity, water and refuse bill each month.

We don't have water at least two times a week.
Our Refuse removal is always delayed so trash heaps up for weeks at a time.
We have power outages due to cable maintenance and theft at least 2 times a week for 3 days at a time, this is on top of the heavy loadshedding in the area.

It's horrible to live like this.
Our Generator petrol cost more than oyr electricity bill each month cause we never have power!!!

Suzaan Maritz (Kempton Park, 2023-04-13)

#74

We have been without power since Sunday 9 Apr 2023, we have logged numerous calls and keep getting told turnaround time is 4-8 hrs, it is now 4 days... food in fridge had to be thrown out, freezer is defrosting...
Our councilor does not respond either.
We are constantly plagued with "cable theft / cable problems" every week. We are tired of these problems and council does absolutely nothing...

Im signing because on top of extreme loadshedding plaqueing South Africa we have on a regular basis power outages running over 12 hours.

Loadshedding is still implemented on top of long outages.

#97

I'm sick and tired of the perpetual power outages in our area. Hardly a week goes by without hours of power outages over and above normal loadshedding. The "breakdowns" are mainly similar in nature pointing to a lack of getting to the route of the problem. Quick fix seems to be an acceptable repair for EMM.

Mike Rogers (Benoni, 2023-04-13)

#98

Fed up with 24 hours + or occasional (more than 2x a week) having NO power after loadshedding for more than 2 hours, due to cable theft or incompetence workmanship. If we have power we dont have water.. if we have water we dont have power, somewhere this has to come to an end. Im paying all my tax's every month and and this is what one is stuck with.. really unacceptable.

Carla van der Merwe (Brentwood Park, 2023-04-13)

#124

I am a resident and we are constantly experiencing prolonged power outages week in week out. Our appliances are getting damaged and food is spoiling weekly. The repairs take anything from a day to days. Its too much

Mmakopa Mosalo (Ekurhuleni, 2023-04-13)

#127

We really cannot live under these conditions anymore, we are subjected to the so called cable faults which last for days, vandalism, cable theft, you name them, every week no break, on top of that it is the loadshedding, they don’t have mercy, we go for hours without electricity very often and when it is restored and loadshedding is in 10 minutes they still switch off, nonsense!

#133

Loadshedding is bad enough, however we experience on a weekly basis when power should come back on it doesn't. We sit for hours sometimes days without power.

Lizl Smith (Benoni, Benoni, Gauteng, 1500, 2023-04-13)

#135

This is not what we pay rates and taxes for.. there is no law and order to control these things with proper punishment, as well as the people accepting the stolen equipment. The municipality and SAPS should be working together to prosecute people court, with NO BAIL and minimum 10 years with NO PAROLE. SADLY, it seems that the majority in council only draw salaries, and don't repair our infrastructure that these thugs are destroying daily. The municipalities receive billions in rates and taxes and electricity, yet the funds are not being applied to solve problems and fix damage within days. But Salaries are taken for NOT doing the right thing. Says it all.

Garth James (Kempton Park , 2023-04-13)

#168

I have a daughter in matrix the power outage is making it difficult for all School learners to do homework school project etc. And then with loadshedding the whole time it is making it easier for the criminals to steal the cables then us the end user has to sit without electricity for 2-3 days. And if you have a look at the the moment crime in the suburb has been going up due to the fact that most home are without power for so long so alarms are not working electrical gate ect. I can't understand why the end users must suffer because of miss management.

We r either without power or water , I live in a retirement community and am visually impaired which means I can't access the shops everyday to buy fresh food , have thrown away many Rands in food which I can't afford , have gone days without being able to bath. Our complex does not allow generators , I can't use gas because I can't see to light it and I can't afford an inverter .

Adele Young (Benoni, 2023-04-14)

#178

I am concerned and frustrated at the inability of the city to fix power outages in our area. While I understand loadshedding is a problem the lack of information on reported problems and the delay in getting through to the call centre and inadequate service are not acceptable. In addition lack of service delivery ito roads, grass and tree cutting etc shows that staff are not doing what they are supposed to do.
