Comments

#401

There has been too many incidents of power outages in Menlo Park in the last few weeks. Right now we are are without electricity. We are cold, hungry and running out of alternatives to explore.

Please fix this!

I am sick and tired of paying for a service which I am not getting, as the electrical supply in the area has transformers which cannot carry the load of all the new developments of complexes in the area, and no electrical upgrade was done in the past to keep pace with the new developments.

The power outages after loadshedding has been a reoccurring issue in our area. This necessitates urgent attention. It’s no way to live like this.

Assilah Mocke (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#404

I'm signing because most of the times after the loadshedding, we do not have power for 1 to 3 days. Either cable stolen or or we do not know. Are the security companies not patrolling or using cameras to check if people are stealing the cables?
We are always the last ti get electricity back

Continous power out straight after loadshedding that lasts days. This has been on going for months, we are FEW days in again, new developments drain the power.my freezer food is off...
PLEASE URGENTLY TAKE US OFF LOADSHEDDING UNTIL RESOLVED

I live in Lynnwood and transformers are a problem

The Outages has affected me multiple times this year and is also starting to affect my small business. I think it is time that they investigate the entire area.

To bring to your attention the power issues we have in the area after load shedding when power is not restored

Mario Moschetta (MenloPark Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#412

The frequency of outages and trips after a load shedding window is becoming increasingly common. Recently we were out for almost 53 hours

Simon Fairhurst (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#414

Insufficient infrastructure to handle load shedding. Our area should be excluded from load shedding until infrastructure has been restored

Tessa Vermaak (Tshwane, 2023-05-24)

#417

We've over the last year had multiple days without power with the longest being a week on end.

Berné Strydom (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

I live in the area and am constantly affected

Nicolas Constantinides (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#419

Loadshedding it bad enough but we have additional power outages in Lynwood Estate which negatively affects our household - we are losing food as it can not be kept cold etc.
Also affecting our businesses as we are unable to charge our UPS to keep our internet on

Rochelle Burnard (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#420

The unreliable power situation is incredibly frustrating and detrimental to working conditions. Loadshedding is an understandable necessity currently but the fact that there are constant unplanned outages is affecting livelihoods and takes too long to resolve. Issues that are fixed keep returning and aren’t dealt with in the long term.

Megan Stead (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#422

I suspect there are deficiencies in the municipal electrical infrastructure serving our neighbourhood which exacerbate our power interruptions. This causes undue stress in our household; we have two work-from home employees and one university student who are heavily reliant upon electricity. Please investigate the causes of the frequent power disruptions.

Dawid Bosman (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#424

The power outages are ridiculous. We can't even live at this point.

Chené Ferreira (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#426

We are often experiencing power outage after loadshedding. The infra-structure is very old. Also too many sub-devisions and flats are built, without updating the infra-structure.

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

#429

The reapeted outages cost me the ability to work from home and the ability to run a normal life.

Jean-Paul Botas (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#432

I live in Menlopark and I have severely been affected by this. I lost everything in my freezer.
I have two boys in Grade 11 who can't study and I don't have enough money to buy

Susan Coetzer (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

Interfering with my work & I need electricity for my CPAP machine for sleeping at night.

Margie Prinsen (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

#434

Electrical problems take too long to get resolved, it is costly and damaging to the economy and devastating to the infrastructure!

Paul de Beer (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#435

My electricity has gone off due to factors besidesoadshedding at least once EVERY week for the last 9 weeks. Power outages between a couple of hours and the longest being 4 days (4 days happened twice). I am a student, I can't study or work from my own apartment, can't do washing, keep my food refrigerated. My expenses of travelling to friends for washing and refrigeration and to sleep over most weeks has impacted my studies to a great degree negatively. Please help. I stay alone with no family close to me.

Bradley Janse van Vuuren (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

Struggling with power outages after loadshedding. Its extremely frustrating. We can't live like this.

Ingrid Meyer (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#438

Problem at substation with continuous trips. Streetlights not working. Poses a security risk. Also cable theft increases during times of no power,causing security risks.

Bessie Venter (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

We can’t live with the excessive power outages

Susan Zimmermann (Pretoria , 2023-05-24)

Unscheduled power outages and water interruptions that last up to 3 days.Paying for basic services that we are deprived of .

Jan Tukker (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#447

Unacceptable that the cables are stolen everytime they are replaced. Power outages increase crime. Businesses are failing and quality of life decreases.

Leonie Moodie (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#451

We are paying our taxes and electricity bills although we are pensioners. The situation is unbearable and unacceptable especially in this winter time!

Ingrid Stander (Pretoria, 2023-05-24)

#457

With the extensive loadshedding schedule it is frustrating that for the few hours we have power a day that is sometime shortened even more when the power cuts off immediately after it comes back on

Yente Potgieter (Pretoria, 2023-05-25)

#459

The matter needs to be resolved as it affects our livelihood.

I am unable to make a living and suffering all the loss of foodstuffs needed in my business due to prolonged electricity cuts!
We pay exorbitant tarifs and get the worse service imaginable!

Fed-up of extended outages after load shedding

Austin Schreiber (Pretoria, 2023-05-25)

#464

The power has been out for 2 whole days and it doesn't seem like anything is being done to fix it. I need power because I do my college studies online and have nowhere else to go.

#473

We are experiencing too many power outages for to long periods of time and this gone to far we are now at this stage out of power for almost 39 hours. Another problem was the water outages. We don’t know what is going on.

There is a lot of unexpected loadshedding.

Corne Grobbelaar (Preroria, 2023-05-25)

#477

The number of instances of and regularity of damage to the electrical infrastructure in our are immediately after and as a direct consequence of loadshedding is overwhelming. It must be costing the city and the ratepayers hundreds of thousands of rands a year and that excludes the costs to individual home and business owners.

Etienne Botha (Pretoria, 2023-05-25)

#480

I would please like power issues resolved

Enslin Davel (Pretoria, 2023-05-25)

#482

After 4 hours of laodshedding, 16:00-20:00, we need to get things done to prepare for school amd work. Without electricity from 16:00-03:00 is a security risk for my family.

Maricelle Ehlers (Pretoria, 2023-05-25)

#483

The lack of power outside of loadshedding hours is becoming endemic. This will cause damage to the electronic devices of residents creating a further additional cost of living. Please solve the problem.

Jean Du Toit (Pretoria, 2023-05-25)

#485

I live in the area and the constant disruptions have a great affect on our lives and livelyhood as my husband works from home.

Of the numerous power outages which we experience in addition to load shedding which generally follow a load shedding period which cause unnecessary stress, disruption and inconvenience.

Diane Haupt (Pretoria, 2023-05-25)

The power failures on top of unacceptable levels of load shedding are causing massive problems and unnecessary extra costs.

We are among those who have been affected by power outages apart from loadshedding.

George King (Tshwane, 2023-05-25)

#533

The load shedding and power outages situation in Menlo Park has gone beyond normal - besides the frustration and inconvenience, it has a real impact on our finances as well: food that goes bad and needs to be discarded, additional equipment needs to be bought, rented or installed just to be able to operate at basic levels. Not all people can invest thousands of Rands in expensive equipment to counter this 'lack of electricity onslaught'. After the health, financial (on all levels) and mental impact of COVID the current situation is not conducive at all. My sympathies are with the families that have small and/or school going children. I honestly do not know how they cope.

Dr Isabelle Swanepoel (Pretoria , 2023-05-26)

#538

I'm signing because the hours with no power has become unbearable. Stage 6 and then we also have to deal with additional hours or days of no power. Not acceptable. Please do something urgently to resolve.

Heinrice Steyn (Pretoria, 2023-05-26)

#539

We constantly have longer outage after the loadshedding session. and then they say it’s a trip but it stays off for 4-5hours longer.

Nadine De beer (Pretoria , 2023-05-26)

#540

Been unfairly affected by the power outage outside loadshedding schedule. Can’t do business at home. Lost major income

Gugulethu Mhlanga (Pretoria, 2023-05-26)

#541

Last weekend I was left without power for two days. In spite of reporting the issue and calling CoT several times a technician only showed up after two days and then cancelled the job number without doing any work. I then had to call again to finally get it reinstated and fixed. All my security ceased working, I lost a lot of the contents of the fridge and had to buy a lot of ice. I had to go to cafes to charge electronics. So it is unsafe and becomes very expensive.

Marianne de Klerk (Pretoria, 2023-05-26)

Bermon Badenhorst (Pretoria, 2023-05-26)

#547

We have to throw away a lot of frozen food that we prepare because the load shedding with power outage thereafter added is too long for healthy food preservation. It is our only income at this stage. Our daughter is at university and we plan her study times around the load shedding schedules. Power outages after load shedding makes it impossible to study.

#565

I am tired of all the power outages in our area. This is besides the normal load shedding that we have to endure. Whenever there are strong winds or thunderstorms our power goes out for almost 24 hours.
This is shocking as we already have load shedding and then we have to deal with additional power outages.

Lorna Burgess (Pretoria, 2023-05-27)

#566

Because I'm sick and tired of the regular, recurring power outages in Menlo Park over many years, which at times have left us without power for days, and the lack of pro-active measures by the Council to resolve this issue permanently.

This is really becoming a problem as after each 4hour load shedding session the power trips and then we are off for 12hours plus, it is impossible with kids exams, and household goods and freezers to cope.

Gina Seymore (Pretoria, 2023-06-02)

#595

Frustrated. Constant power outages as well as cable theft in the area. This paired with loadshedding is making it feel like we barely have power.
