Load shedding is bad enough. Repeated extensions to power outages must be prevented

Siobhan Muller (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

I am fed up with constant loadshedding and power outages.

Gavin Kotze (Tshwane, 2023-05-24)

#7

Besides the often 11 and a half hours of daily loadshedding, the power in our area often trips as soon as the loadshedding end
This leads to many addisional hours of no power very ofte

Estelle Erasmus (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

The frequent power outages after loadshedding highly disruptive and need to be addressed as a matter of great urgency.

I pay for services as taxpayer and ratepayer and am entitled to have uninterrupted power.

Continuous power outages after loadshedding. This has to stop!

It is time for those who are responsible for all service related issues to be held accountable and actually do their jobs they get paid to do.

Christine Scholtz (Lynnwood Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

The repeated and ongoing power outages in Menlo Park over and above load shedding are having a severe negative impact on our lives.

Oadshedding is messing with infdastructure power muchlonger of due to tripping when it should come on afterloadshedding

Elize Castelyn (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#32

We as residence of Tswhane deserves the services we pay for, which is currently not the situation.

Andries Pretorius (Tshwane, 2023-05-24)

#33

I’m tired of paying for a service that is not being delivered. This is just unacceptable and needs to addressed.

Vivienne Uys (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#34

We have severe power outages after Loadshedding that then last up to 3 days. It’s continuous and affects my small business to such an extent that I have to close my business due to this

Jana Nel (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#37

Power not restored after load shedding

Bennie Vosloo (Lynnwood, 2023-05-24)

#39

Continued electricity blackouts. Poor service.

Chris Wiese (Menlo park, 2023-05-24)

#41

It is a major problem effecting our lives daily

Roland Dinkelmann (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#42

It’s one thing to have loadshedding, but for the power to trip directly after and then waiting 2 days for power is ridiculous. Something needs to be done for the power not to trip all the time. How is it possible that people should slowly, one by one, switch on appliances to not make it trip? There is 1000s of plasces that handles more electricity pressure than a fricken neighbourhood.

Carla van Wyk (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#43

I agree that they need to deal with the power not returning or tripping when it comes back on. We are already seized with load shedding and the situation is untenable.

Wessel Schiebler (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#47

I can’t take it anymore. It is disrupting my whole household, my health and sanity.

Simonne Dreyer (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#48

I am experiencing financial losses as a result of the constsnt power failures

Johann de Beer (Tshwane, 2023-05-24)

#49

No service delivery

Ray Collett (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#51

I agree with the content in the petition. The repeated failure of the grid after loadshedding is unsustainable, and places pressure on already stretched families & businesses. A solution needs to be found as soon as possible.

Liaan Kretzschmar (Lynnwood, Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#52

Power outages after loadshedding are becoming a huge problem and are very frequent now.

Leone Cloete (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

Repeating power outages after loadshedding when power should resume.

Affecting my business

Tersia Labuschagne (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#60

Government will have to act now, not just talk! Talk is cheap. The poor of the poorest are suffering because of greed and power. Our government should turn back to God so that we all may be blessed. Get out of WHO AS WELL!!!

Ingrid van der Merwe (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#62

The power outages are adding additional stress.

Johannes Mahne (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#66

I am directly affected by the issue. My security has undergone total failure,my food is rotting,we dont have warm water and it makes raising a baby a nightmare. Absolute disgrace for someone religeously paying my rates and taxes.

Werner Stander (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#67

I am directly affected by the issue. We are currently on a 2 day power outtage,no resolution. It is the third one this month.

Stephanie Stander (Menlopark Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

I think it’s time that we hold people accountable for neglect that happened through years of miss management.

Philip Loots (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#78

I live in Menlo park. We are very frustrated

Inge SCHERMAN (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#79

Since the year commenced we have experienced a power failure after loadshedding 10 times.
The power failure is usually about 12+ hours after the 4 hours of loadshedding.

This is a huge problem as I have a job to do with wifi and a laptop and I can’t when I don’t have power.

My appliances are being damaged and I have had to buy a new microwave and fridge because of these outages.

Please take the whole of Menlo Park off of the loadshedding schedule or please install a larger transformer.

Building more apartment buildings but not upgrading the capacity of the transformers is a large problem and needs to be attended to ASAP.

Alexi Esterhuizen (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#80

I want a safe place to live and work with electricity

Dorothy Field (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#81

We are tired of our power constantly tripping after loadshedding, please investigate.

Abri Spies (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#83

I’m signing because the Power outages in Menlo park is worst than other parts in Pretoria. The time for CoT to assist in fixing the issues is unacceptable. And even when the issues are fixed, often it is not done properly and requires CoT to go back.
Some houses stay without power for days.
I have the detail of the outages if it is required.

Mia Geringer (PretoriA, 2023-05-24)

#84

I’m signing because my household suffers due to load shedding and my business is severely affected by this load shedding pandemic. It causes reputational damage and makes myself and my staff look incompetent. Yet we pay our taxes each and every month we pay our electricity bills and we can’t even utilise 50% of the power we are being billed for. This even affects one’s mental wellness and government does not do anything to assist or offer relief. I am utterly disgusted with the level or service we as citizens of this country receives from government and we not getting any of this for free yet those who are not even paying half as much as we are have services provided to them. I feel it’s discriminatory toward certain areas as well

Ashlyn La Meyer (Lynnwood,pretoria , 2023-05-24)

Regular power outages other then loadshedding in Lynnwood

Lianne Malan (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#86

There seems to be a problem with repetitive power outages after loadshedding sessions when power is supposed to be restored.

Anna-Marie Radloff (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#90

I am signing this petition as power at our substation and in our suburb constantly trips after relevant periods of load-shedding have ended, resulting in hours, sometimes days (!) of extra blackouts, over and above the already awful and extended power cuts we have to endure. For any tax paying citizen, such as myself, this is unjust and unacceptable.

Blain de Villiers (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#91

More than 36 hrs without power atm We do not find that our electricity problems are sorted In Twentyfirst street. The transformer always trips or do not start after loadshedding yet no other solution has been found. No response, slow response.

Selma Horn (Menlopark , 2023-05-24)

#92

It is bad enough that we have to cope with loadshedding, but in the last few weeks we have repeated trips within minutes of loadshedding, or power not returnign at all. These extentions to loadsheddign last for anything from 60 minutes to 3 days, severly affecting our homes, our families and small businesses

Lizinda Faber (Pretoria Tshwane , 2023-05-24)

#93

I'm signing because the power tripped after loadshedding

Carike Botha (Lynnwood , 2023-05-24)

#98

Occurs on a daily basis.

Hano Janse van Rensburg (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#100

We cannot have almost daily tripping of the system after load shedding
It affects our mental health cause it interrupts our sleep and causes additional stress wondering if and when the power will be restored

Norah Pretorius (Tshwane, 2023-05-24)

#101

We have an issue with power supply. On multiple occasions have the power stayed off after loadshedding ended. Not only are we left for prolonged periods without power after the power fails to come back on but on occasions we have been without power for more or less 24hrs. Some of our neighbours in other streets have recently been without power for 52 and 72hours. Not only have power outages caused issues but also high voltages and surges that have damaged our appliances.
People talk about stage 10 loadshedding but we are experiencing stage 12 and plus the way things are going.

Gerhard Janse van Rensburg (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#103

The repeated power failures in Menlo Park creates a safety risk.

Janette Minnaar (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#106

I'm signing this because I work in the area and study in the are and everytime there is a power failure I have to make new arrangements to do my work and studies.

Danie Basson (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#108

I am signing this because my home and business are directly impacted by these outages after loadshedding. Enough is enough.

Elme Gerber (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#109

I’m signing because this is a shitshow.

Gary Burnard (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#110

Of the repeated outages after loadshedding is getting out of hand…four days ago we came out of a 50 hour outage then last night again having an 11 hour outage!!!!! I am signing a petition for COT to investigate and fix the problem asap and not only to switch the tripped switch back on hours after faults reoccured!

Stephen Claassens (Ptetoria, 2023-05-24)

#115

The repeated outages after "normal" loadshedding are causing unnecessary further hardship and expenditure for families and small businesses.

Steinman De Bruyn (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#117

We can’t go on with this situation where a tripped switch cause another day without power

Johan Steyn (Tshwane, 2023-05-24)

#119

Lack of service delivery despite payment for it, danger at traffic lights that are out of order, loss of income if working from home, food spoilage.

Christelle le Roux (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#121

This can't keep going on. We are getting laid shedded for 9 hours a day. And then when experience "a trip" for between 2 and 24 hours every single day.

Leonard Smith (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#122

The repeated power outages have a severe effect on our ability to live and work. It has now been 36 hours without power and still no recourse. And this happens ever so often. Please investigate and update the infrastructure. We need better service than this!

Lizel Fourie (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#123

I want constant energy supply.

Louwrens Olivier (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#124

As a diligent and honest taxpayer for more than 40 yrs in Pretoria the extended loadshedding is absolutely not acceptable as it severly impact on my health, quality of life and my general wellbeing. It is unbearable.

Leo Stander (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#125

The power situation in 21st Street, Menlo Park has become a huge problem. Lately when the power is restored after load shedding our street trips and we are without power for days. This is unacceptable and something has to be done about it.

Rina Mears (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#126

I'm fed up with staying without electricy for 3 days after loadshedding, and only to be switched on after a BRIBE!!!!!!!!

Ronel Koekemoer (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#127

It is redicioulus....we pay rates and taxes but no service at all. We lose most of our food etc.

Repeated outages in Menlo Park

Bruce Collins (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#131

I am sick and tired of terrorist municipal officials demanding more and more and more money and then hols me as a consumer ransome by going on a slow strike when they are supposed to work i.e. switching / repairing electrical supply.

Albie Meyer (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#132

I’m signing because on top of load-shedding, we keep getting power outages on a a regular basis. This compounds the issues with loadshedding and costs us in terms of food that goes off and quality of life.

Sebastian Valencia (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#133

Regular power outages reacure after load shedding

Janelle Strydom (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

Loadshedding is getting out of hand and the power outage seconds after loadshedding hours. And the cable thefts in our aria....

This is unacceptable from COT side.

We pay our taxes and demand services.

I have small kids and need the bare necessities as any parent do.

Make shure you provide it or change governance. And dont take our tax money.

Johann Botha (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#144

I am signing because power cut outs affect my studies as I can't work in power outages. It affects all the other aspects from having to throw food out because of the fridge warming up to not be able to do online assignments

Megan Smit (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#145

Constant and more than 24 hour power outages at a time as a result of load shedding and strain on electricity system having to be interrupted and switched off constantly due due load shedding

The City of Tshwane do not maintain the City’s infrastructure. After every load shedding we have major power outages throughout Pretoria and especially Lynnwood.

Dirk Marx (Lynnwood , 2023-05-24)

#163

We had this issues now for a while… now yesterday again 4pm to 8pm was load shedding and then the electricity never came on. This is getting out of hand and I agree that they should do a thorough inspection and assessment of why this is still happening ‼️‼️

Liezl Hugo (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#167

The repeated power outages after having had loadshedding throughout the day is unacceptable. I've faced financial loss due to having to throw out food, after our power had been off for 3 days. I've been extremely inconvenienced and had to shower at my gym to get warm water. I repeatedly have to go work on the university campus because a laptop battery simply only lasts so long.

Willem Ferguson (Tshwane, 2023-05-24)

#171

Every week we get continued outages after loadshedding. This is causing havoc with our planning and losses with all our household activities which require electricity. We pay our electricity, water and rates and taxes and therefore insist that those services must be delivered!

Hillensberg

Nina Buys-Barnard (Lynnwood, 2023-05-24)

#176

Given the problems that loadshedding is causing, I believe that that those in power should be doing all that they can not exacerbate the problem by ensuring stable power when not in loadshedding.

Friedl Jacobs (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#177

We have had 4 days with no power this week. It’s just unacceptable. Lost all my meat and frozen goods.

Neil Brand (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

Elmien Claassens (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#187

The loadshedding is disastrous, but the fact that the power trips after restoration and subsequent delays is unacceptable.

Chaim Cope (Tshwane, 2023-05-24)

#192

These are the most basic of services for which we pay dearly in addition to already being heavily taxed and the ever-deteriorating state of affairs and lack of adequate and necessary attention to resolving issues reported and those known is unacceptable.

Johan Neethling (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#195

I am frustrated with the regular extended power failures we are experiencing. And the time period to get these fixed. And yet nothing is being done to find the problem or a solution.

Chani Smith (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#197

Extended power failures due to Lynnwood substation tripping after loadshedding. This please neefs to be investigated
