The constant failing of infrastructure after loadshedding is affecting the elderly severely! The electrical budget must be spent on maintaining and upgrading the electrical system and make the resources available to attend to outages promptly.

Electricity is a HUGE problem in our area. Everytime after Loadshedding the electricity trips and we have no electricity for an additional 3 - 5 hours.

Karin Van Heerden (Pomona, 2023-06-01)

#438

Electricity and water are akin to emergency services and should be available 24/7 therefore shift work is best.

Beverley Buckenham (Bredell , 2023-06-01)

#439

The infrastructure is failing. We have more power outage than we actually have power on. The failing power structure is just compounded by further theft and vandalism. This needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency!

Jacomi Van Heerden (Kempton Park, 2023-06-01)

#443

I'm sick and tired of having on going water and power issues due to lack of planning we pay but we get no service. Councillors and Ekurhuleni staff are arrogant and ride when you complain. If not fixed I will just stop paying.

Jayley-Anne Espach (Pomona , 2023-06-01)

#458

I’m signing this petition because I’m sick and tired of constantly sitting without power/electricity for 35+ hours on a regular basis because of power failures in the area. When we report these issues we are just told that the overtime capacity have been reached and that we will have to wait for the next business day.

We have had to throw out a lot of food that have gone bad since our freezers have gone warm.

What about the pensioners who could not afford to throw out their food and then afford to buy new ones just because of other people???

Welme Van Niekerk (Kempton Park, 2023-06-01)

#459

Electricity infrastructure neglected and staff contraints due to overtime taken away.

Corrie Schipper (Kempton Park, 2023-06-01)

Maritza Dicks (Ekurhuleni, 2023-06-01)

#472

Abrupt and out of control excessive outages. Time to repair as well takes for ever. At times if outage occur after hours/weekend, will be told that overtime has been exhausted and therefore must wait for shift start. I think electricity is classified under essential service and therefore the should be 24He's support. @ least if 3 shift not possible, lets settle for standby shift.

Bernard Tsotetsi (kempton parj, 2023-06-02)

#473

Im over all these power cuts and all day off cause people cant assist and the reason is their overtime is cut.. Its unfair to us as residents who pays but gets nothing from it

Elne Van der westhuizen (KEMPTON PARK, 2023-06-02)

#474

The power issue's & lengthy loadshedding being experienced by our ward25 is out of control.

We go for days without power. Then the power is restored & 10 minutes later we get a 4 hour loadshed !! This happens weekly its to much.

Gail Horn (KEMPTON PARK, 2023-06-02)

#475

We never have electricity after load shedding. The power comes on for 5 mins and then goes off, sometimes for 3 days!!!

Samantha Minnaar (Benoni, 2023-06-02)

#480

Increase overtime and maintain the electricity grid

Andre Engelbrecht (Kempton Park , 2023-06-02)

#482

The power outages have reached unbearable limits. Loadshedding in Bredell is very high and as soon as power is switched on it trips. We can no longer tolerate the fact that outages can not be fixed after hours.

Arlene Fox (Bredell , 2023-06-02)

#483

As a retiree after 40 years, it was my intention to live peacefully at this up market retirement estate. I am now unable to walk unassisted. especially in pitch dark areas with my walking stick like a visually impaired person, trying to find my house in the dark, trying to hear familiar sounds! This is a very dangerous situation after leaving Flavor restaurant on an uneven pathway. It is not a pleasure to live here anymore in these dire situations without the most basic utilities like water and electricity! I have fallen in the dark house many times and have already had a total hip replacement in the past. The situation is now getting very urgent to at least get electricity for which I have paid every month for 5 years! Thank you for trying to fix this mess!

Henriette Engelbrecht (Bredell, 2023-06-02)

#484

We really need stand by teams when power has a problem after hours. We stay days with out power and we are paying residents

Johanita van den Berg (Kempton Park, 2023-06-02)

The area where I live experiences continuous power outages in addition to load shedding. This is a daily occurrence since January 2023. I demand this to be sorted out as a tax as well as rates and taxes payer. We are paying for a non-existent service

Dalene De Lira (Benoni , 2023-06-02)

#510

Our power constantly goes off and then we sit for days without power because it's weekend and nobody is working. After loadshedding, our power comes on for 10 minutes if we are lucky! Then goes off again, for another few hours, sometimes days!! It's insane!!

Chantal Damon (Brentwood park , 2023-06-02)

1. Increase overtime work or remove/ extend the cap on overtime work.

2. Introduce a shift system.

3. Fill all critical funded vacant posts in the Energy Department, more especially at depot level.

Anel Riekert (Pomona, 2023-06-03)

#537

I am signing because of several severe outages and take to long to repair affecting my safety, health and living conditions

Kobus Kotze (Pomona, Kempton Park, 2023-06-03)

#538

This area is totally unstable electricity wise. We cannot continue to have to wait for hours, sometimes days without electricity because of a lack of longterm planning by EMM.

Mike Rogers (Benoni, 2023-06-03)

#539

This has to stop, period. I support every demand on this petition

Simon Zwane (Pomona , 2023-06-03)

#541

Sekere power outages because lank of maintenance and staff not getting paid overtime

Cornelia Naude (Pomona, 2023-06-03)

#544

The infrastructure is in a collapsing state, power off for hours and sometime days on end especially after load shedding at night and then there is no one to attend to problem. It's impossible that the excuse is that there is no money. We pay a fortune for Rates, Water and Electricity. Surely there is income to Ekurhuleni from this. So there must be money to pay for overtime and if their repairs and maintenance are properly done, they would not have to use overtime meaning Ekurhuleni will save money.

Alwyn Naude (Pomona, 2023-06-03)

#547

We want change!

Lesley Ann Vos (KEMPTON PARK, 2023-06-03)

Enough is enough!

Mandy van den Heever (Kempton park , 2023-06-03)

#551

We demand better services from Ekurhuleni Council. We pay their salaries with our rates & tax money, but get treated like rubbish. Pull up your socks, Ekurhuleni employees, give us service, sort out the electricity, water, potholes, non-working streetlights etc etc. We are paying for non-working essentials. Ship up, or ship out. Because at the moment you are useless. You should be ashamed of yourselfs.

Something needs to be done

Bernita Van Vollenstee (Kempton park , 2023-06-03)

#556

The load shedding has a major impact in our area. The electricity does not come back after load shedding, days on end. Cable fault and theft have a huge impact on our day to day living. Vandalism is also at play. The electricity trips when coming from load shedding. The frustrations are endless. The grid needs to be upgraded.

Prudence Setlhako (Johannesburg , 2023-06-03)

#557

The electricity problems our area are experiencing is ridiculous. There needs to be something done to provide for our basic rights and needa

Jenice Van der Merwr (Pomona, 2023-06-03)

#560

We are sick and tired of being left in the dark after our loadshedding schedule has ended, we are in desperate need of more hands and better infrastructure. We have children to feed and bathe, there needs to be better allocation of resources and more policing (3rd party) of these allocation.

Marius Van Niekerk (Kempton Park, 2023-06-03)

#562

I’m a tax paying resident and we deserve power

Gomolemo Makgamatha (Kempton park , 2023-06-03)

#565

We need staff to attend to the failing electric system, upgrade our system and have teams on standby doing their jobs not just clicking overtime and not getting the job completed.

Mandy King (Pomona, 2023-06-03)

#567

I am tried of having no electricity on Main Road and yet the construction site on Main Road have their own substation and ist us registered under an unknow person, with is legal. When we suppose to be on we off and work and leave their lights on during the day.

I'm gatvol of not having electricity

Jeanne Strydom (Benoni, 2023-06-04)

#573

Our power outages are so excessive and take very long to restore due to no over time, no maintenance.

Janine Carrington (Kempton Park, 2023-06-04)

#574

We have continued power outages which only get fixed when we put pressure on officials to do so. Our latest one is at day 6 already with no resolution. The excuse used is always that there is no money for overtime.

Keith GILL (Benoni, 2023-06-04)

#575

I am tired of sitting in the dark

Barbie Kock (Brentwood, 2023-06-04)

#576

I'm signing this petion because of ongoing loadshedding in Pomona AH. I see more and more Estates being built but have not seen any additional substations being built.

Uwe Schulz (Kempton Park, 2023-06-04)

#578

We can not continue with these continued power outages resulting from tripping after loadshedding, vandalism, etc. it’s affecting our health, our livelihood and our possessions.

Tanya De Villiers (Pomona, 2023-06-04)

#579

I'm tired of the constant power outages, it's either loadshedding, cable theft or faulty cable line. Going two or three days without power is unacceptable considering that I pay my municipal bill on time, atleast can the power outages be fixed on time.

Peter Phahlane (Ekurhuleni , 2023-06-04)

#580

I’m signing because I’m fed up with the lack of service delivery after load shedding. The infrastructure has not been properly maintained which causes extra outages. Overtime has been cut so after hours support does not happen. Theft and vandalism is rife and we don’t get preventative measures implemented.
I’m not the only one in the area that is feeling this way. All the residents are demanding that action be taken

Shelley Coetzer (Ekurhuleni , 2023-06-04)

#581

Constant power failure
Log a call takes 2 to 3 if not longer before power is restored
They don't work overtime
Bredell has more loadshedding and power off then any other suburbs
If we don't have loadshedding we in any case don't have power due to lack of service in our area

Isabella Van Eck (Ekurhuleni , 2023-06-04)

#583

I’m signing because of the continuing power outages in the area and Muncipality workers not being paid overtime to fix the power outages after hours and weekends
This is very problematic and has been going on for some time. System needs to be upgraded to handle the load on the electrical system in our area

Barend van Heerden (Pomona, 2023-06-04)

#584

I need the country to run and operate like a first world country we proclaim toe be.
Power and water are essential and therefore should be treated as such.
Restoration of non-power cannot, not be attended to because overtime has been depleted!

Rentia Grobler (Pomona, 2023-06-04)

#585

The teams that are short staffed and unable to fix the power problems. They need help and need to get paid overtime.

Phillip Ryan (Kempton Park, 2023-06-04)
