The electricity crisis in outlr area has cost me so much money. Food spoils. I cannot work and do my job as I work from home. Cols showers

This is not living . This is hell.

Matt Dunning (Pretoria, 2023-06-02)

Every week we will go at a minimum of 24hours without electricity after load shedding. Some weeks have been 51hours without electricity

Zoe Phillips (Pretoria, 2023-06-02)

Something must be done.

Overwhelming amout of power outages

My business is situated at the above address and in the last month alone we have had several power outages that have lasted two days or more. We are fortunate enough to have a generator but it is costing a fortune in diesel costs

Eric Milburn (Tshwane , 2023-06-02)

Sick and tired of no service delivery, corruption and incompatent persons earning wages and salary from taxpayers money.

Louwrens Dreyer (Pretoria, 2023-06-02)

#623

We experienced power outages after the power was supposed to come back on after load shedding.

Marlene Birkholtz (Tshwane , 2023-06-02)

#624

Power outages are beyond reasonable, very very difficult to live this way

Jayden Bibbings (Menlopark , 2023-06-03)

Excessive load shedding out of agreed upon times

Lukas Groenewald (Menlo Park, 2023-06-03)

I'm pissed off.

Power outages

#638

I have had ppwer troubles for the last few months with my power having been off for 2 days as of the 2nd of June 2023

Resolve the power issue

Axel von Gruenewaldt (Pretoria, 2023-06-05)

#641

I have reached the limit of my patience with cold bathing water and defreezing fridges and no stove to prepare food...and the uncertainty of never knowing when the power will trip again!

Johanneth Meiring (Pretoria, 2023-06-06)

#642

I never have power

Stefan Bosman (Pretoria, 2023-06-06)

#644

We are constantly without power after loadshedding. Infrastructure cannot handle being switched on and off.

Gavin Wait (Pretoria, 2023-06-06)

#645

Power outages, over and beyond loadshedding.

Talia Levy (Pretoria, 2023-06-06)

#647

Repeated power failures

Lise Olivier (Pretoria, 2023-06-06)

#648

suffering badly due to ill health

Hercules VAN BILJON (Pretoria, 2023-06-07)

#653

I'm signing this because I am sick and tired if the loadshedding. Even when load shedding ends our power stays off because of the tripping at substations. Last time we were off for 3 days. This must come to an end.

Patrick Kuiper (Pretoria, 2023-06-07)

#655

The frequency of complete power outages in Menlo Park is far too high. We pay rates AND taxes every month - shouldn't we get the service paid for or our money back?

Melandra Naicker (Pretoria, 2023-06-09)

#656

The power issue is adversely affecting my home and small business.

Thandeka Dlamini (Pretoria , 2023-06-10)

#659

We are severely affected by these outages ON TOP OF loadshedding.

Jaco Fourie (Pretoria, 2023-06-19)

#661

Because I live in the area and we have constant power outages

Nina De Caires (Pretoria, 2023-07-17)

#663

I'm fedup with all the disruptions on both the electricity and wayet network.
Plus you're approving plans for developers to build 40 plus unit's when they demolish 2ir 3 older houses, you get the increased income on rates and taxes but the infrastructure doesn't have the capacity to handle it. Insurance companies don't want to cover damages to freezers, TV's, powersurhes, geysers anymore.

This is pathetic.
Biggest damage is when one is not at home and power or water is off for 24 hours plus.

Werner van Aswegen (Pretoria , 2023-07-22)

#665

This is incompatible with life and just unacceptable.

Nabihah Kurrimboccus (Pretoria, 2023-07-22)

#666

Power outage after load-shedding. Please fix this or remove us from the load-shedding schedule.
Thank you!

Nompilo Ngwenya (Pretoria , 2023-07-22)

#667

Our substations are old and with all the power outages, they just blow up. Also with power outages, cables are stolen! How much does Tswane have to pay extra to repair cut cables? We can use that money much better.

Marlene Eckard (Pretoria , 2023-07-22)

#669

The power is almost always tripped after loadshedding!

Mariska de Bruin (Pretoria, 2023-07-22)

#671

The power failures after load shedding have a negative impact on my life and also results in water interruptions and pipe failure.

Irene Bezuidenhout (Pretoria, 2023-07-22)

#673

I am tired of incompetence. Have been paying taxes and rates for more than 40 years.

Elana De Swardt (Pretoria , 2023-07-22)

#674

Please consider exempting this substation from load shedding until it has been upgraded to tolerate the switching, consider having staff on standby after LS to immediately reset tripped breakers.

Joachim Huyssen (Pretoria, 2023-07-22)

#675

Enough is enough

Melessa Clemons (Pretoria , 2023-07-22)

#676

The power outages have been effecting-me as well and it has gotten to a point were its not acceptable anymore.

Jordan Waring (Pretoria , 2023-07-22)

#677

Unacceptable and traumatic power outages after loafshedding

Anita Engelbrecht (Pretoria, 2023-07-22)

#679

This is heavily affecting my small business.

Nina Buys-Barnard (Pretoria, 2023-07-22)

#681

The number of outages has been increasing each year and has been taking longer to reconnect.

Pieter Cronje (Tshwane, 2023-07-22)

#684

Unacceptable power conditions. Come home from work and plan around the schedule just to be ruined by not coming back on. Losing tropical fish that need thermostat to regulate temperature and fridge not able to keep food.

Richard Leita (Pretoria , 2023-07-22)

Power outages

Lelanie Koumoutsaris (Pretoria, 2023-07-22)

#691

We have a guests house. It's registered as one. We pay the taxes. NOT just a house listed on Airbnb. We could have done what everyone else did...just "rent" out rooms or list on Airbnb with out it being fare to the city. It's not fare. It's not worth the stress. All we can do is get AWAY from the services and get our own electricity, own water... That what we PAY for already.

Anke Goldstone (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#693

The recent escalation in power outages, especially after loadshedding episodes, have caused us extreme frustration.

My business relies on the maintenance of a cold chain to ensure the quality of my products. I have had massive financial loss secondary to the lengthy disruption in electricity leading to failure to maintain cooling temperatures.

We have installed a solar system in attempt to overcome this issue, but with the current situation, weather being as is and power outages, our battery just doesn’t cope.

Stefni Nolte (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#694

This phenomenon along with load shedding needs to stop and be fixed in order to never happen again.

Brandon Booth (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#699

Keep struggling with no power

Susan Zimmermann (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#700

I am fed up with the repeated trips of the system immediately after load shedding which is causing numerous additional hours of outages at our homes. As citizens we are severely affected. Please fix this immediately.

Ian Potgieter (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#705

Loadshedding is bad enough, added outages are unacceptable.

Elandré Strydom (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#710

I am signing because every single time after loadshedding ends we are without power for hours and hours. This situation is untenable!

Eleanor Cornelius (Van Zuydam) (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#713

There must be a solution to this ongoing problem, an investigation will find the source of the problem and solve, and must also include a plan for ongoing maintenance.

Bruce Lister (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#716

I’m directly affected by this, personally and in my business

Mark Marais (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#717

I am tired of the repeated tripping. I am a student and need to be able to use my electronic devices but I can’t if I am unable to charge them because of constant no electricity.

Sabrina Cirone (Tshwane , 2023-07-23)

#720

I am signing because the situation is becoming untenable. I am living in the area. The City has legal responsibilities that it must comply with. And the situation in the two suburbs is deteriorating daily.

NJ Grove (Tahwane, 2023-07-23)

#725

We are experiencing excessive blackouts after load shedding due to the grid tripping as soon as power is restored. This causes hours of darkness on top of load shedding.

Nico Basson (PRETORIA, 2023-07-23)

#728

Our power keeps on tripping shortly after load-shedding has ended. The repair time takes up to 5 hours at a time. This is frequently at the next load-shedding period leaving us without power for extended periods

Inge Pieterse (Lynnwood, Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#730

I and most of the elderly people here Cannot afford to replace food, equipment after the power goes off most of the time again when our scheduled loadshedding is over!! And not to talk about the health damage of sitting in the dark alone!

Anna-Marie Scheeoers (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#732

I'm sick and tired of living like this when we are forced to pay high rates and taxes.
It is a security problem as well a a disgrace ad problematic to all appliances. Just imagine the elderly and babies

Annalize Prinsloo (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#733

I’m tired of constant Power outages

Marina de Villiers (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#736

Regular power outages after loadshedding

Gary Ross (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#737

City of Tshwane should look better after their paying customers. We put measures in place by switching geysers and ovens off, but it keeps on happening. Sort out the Lynnwood substation, please.

MM van der Merwe (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#740

Loadshedding is not just a nuisance, but cost me thousands of Rands extra to run generators and work can not always be completed.

Gustav Viljoen (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#741

Because we run a business that serves the lynnwood community 24/7

Luisa Rea (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

Concern and frustration/

Cosistent power issues

Frans Geldenhuys (pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#746

I am concerned about damage to the sub-station if upgrades are not carried out.

Fanie Kroukamp (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#748

We get power outages after Loadshedding, or no power restored once Loadshedding is done.

Carolise Miller (Lynnwood, 2023-07-23)

#749

The power tripped once again after loadshedding

Niel Van Dyk (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#750

I would like the electricity problem to be investigated

Louise du Toit (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

Power outages after load shedding.

Nicholas Sorour (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#754

We reside in Menlo Park, end almost every time after loadshedding, the power returns for a few minutes, if at all, and then trips again. The power is then sometimes off from 3 hours to 3 days.

Nora Fourie (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#756

Loadshading is affecting us baddly

Lefty Modise (Tshwane, 2023-07-23)

#757

I'd like to end power outages after loadshedding!

Klara Smit (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#759

We have loadshedding and the power comes back for 5 to 10 minutes and then it trips. Then hours go by and it comes back on to only go off again 30 minutes later for loadshedding. Then I sit up waiting to see if it comes back cause I am scared my fridge doesn't stay cold. Stress stress 😩

Shani Cloete (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#760

The power always "trips" when the power comes back on after loadshedding.

It is either sabotage, or incompetence.

Frederik Andersen (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#761

I’m a resident of the area.

Jennie Fourie (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#764

The policing and electrical service delivery is shocking.

Leon Fourie (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#766

I think it is being abused, the area in S
Sussex Street is not disconnected at load shedding.
there should not be discrimination between parliament or Councillors.

Terry Cunningham (tswhane, 2023-07-23)

#768

We already had loadshedding and after loadshedding we are sitting without power for longer. We can’t plan or do anything. It’s annoying.

Chandré Oosthuizen (Menlo Park, 2023-07-23)

#771

I am signing this because the ongoing power outages on top of loadshedding is ridiculous

Ilke Döman (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#775

We always have power outages straight after loadshedding that lasts more than 6 hours at a time at night, its like not having electricity at all
I am tired of this we can never cook, our appliances are giving in and fridges are defrosting causing food to go bad

Rudie Koekemoer (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#776

I am signing the petition because it happens so often that after loadshedding the power in the area is not restored. We should be exempt from loadshedding because of this .

Rentia De Beer (Menlopark Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#777

We have had 2 x 30 hour long power failures in the past week due to supply tripping. This needs to be investigated please.

Irma Swanepoel (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#778

The number and frequency of power outages in our area.

George Cilliers (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#779

Please get your act together and stop blaming these outages on the consumer

Deon Loock (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#780

We cannot keep going on like this. The power outages are drastically affecting our home and work life.

Anouk Botha (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#781

Taxpayers should not be treated so poorly. The added loss of electricity costs money and makes life unpredictable.

Lindsay Godfrey (Pretoria, 2023-07-23)

#783

Tge power trips after load shedding. A solution is required.

Philip Steenekamp (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#784

I'm affected

Tertius Du Plessis (Pretoria , 2023-07-23)

#786

We need to get a Solution for this outages.

Vincent Walkerley (Pretoria, 2023-07-24)

#787

The powe trip after every outage.

Hannes Lombaard (Pretoria, 2023-07-24)

#788

It is frustrating and inconvenient when there is no power. If it goes off unexpectedly our appliances get damaged and insurance companies do not cover anymore due to load shedding and its consequences. As tax paying South African citizens I feel we have the right to aak for it to be fixed.

Jalene Van Der Westhuizen (Pretoria , 2023-07-24)

#790

It is ridiculous that for numerous times the power is off directly after loadshedding.

Erna Guillaume (Pretoria , 2023-07-24)

#791

The power is still constantly going of after loadshedding and it’s extremely frustrating!!!

Jean Scheffer (Menlo Park, 2023-07-24)
