These interactions are unbearable. I work remotely and having no power makes it impossible for me to work and sustain myself. This is affecting my livelihood!!!

Sharitha Devi Pillay (Tshwane, 2023-09-14)

#6

We as a family are affected on a daily basis and it increases our security risk, and risk to electrical equipment

Renier Van der Merwe (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#7

Continuing service delivery issues while we are paying services are not acceptable. We need to be excempt from loadshedding untill the current tripping issue after repowering is sorted

Andre Uys (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#9

After every loadshedding period, our power goes off again. This result in geysers not switching on, children must bath cold, chargers and batteries cannot charge. Cannot make food for my family which result in spending extra money on take aways. Thisnis unacceptable!

Rene Fourie (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

We consistently don’t have power for extended periods after loadshedding

Elsabe Olckers (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

We all have to live and pay bills. We cannot suffer like this.

The contant loadshedding and then tripping of the power cost me a full freezer of meat that went off

Lana Kotze (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#14

I am signing this because I live in lynnwood and experiencing multiple power disruptions after loadshedding which leads me to not have power for various hours after my allotted loadshedding time period sometimes the power outtage spans over numerous days.
This situation needs to be resolved ASAP

Matthew Veltman (Lynnwood, 2023-09-14)

#15

The power trips all the time after the end of loadshedding.

Linda Petrick (Tshwane, 2023-09-14)

#16

I am a resident of the area and me and my neighbours are sick and tired of prolonged load shedding past the Eskom scheduled times due Tshwane infrastructure failures and subsequent lack of service delivery or willing to get it fixed!!!!!

Johannes Nel (Lynnwood, 2023-09-14)

#17

We have many power outages, that happen because our sub station gets damaged due to loadshedding.

Johan Langerman (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#20

We are experiencing no power and losing appliances plus children are not getting homework

Tiego Mufamadi (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#21

I live in the area and it has become very apparent that the system can't handle loadshedding. Have now officially had 34 hours of constant load shedding - with 3 power trips within 3min after load shedding was suppose to end.

Clarissa Meyer (Lynnwood, Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#22

We as the community of Menlopark are suffering the fact.
And we will end up losing our meat and things that need to stay frozen.
We ate paying for a service that's poor to deliver when we in need.

Please this is seriously affecting us and our family's

Johannes Liddle (Pretoria east, 2023-09-14)

I work in 53 Daphne, and the loadshedding is going to make the inverter explode, and i can not do my work.

Zahndri Van Staden (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

The loadshedding and constant full day power outages are unbearable.

Issues must be addressed urgently

Janet Cramb (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#32

I am signing as we have more hours without power than we do with power and it is incredibly difficult living like this and keeping food from going off as well as keeping power banks, inverters charged

Diane Haupt (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#35

The power in my area trips and stays off every time we get load shedding.

Jeandré Van Schalkwyk (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

We have continuous outages because of power trips after load shedding. We can't work from home in our business. This is problematic

Adele van Zyl (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

The power situation is terrible.

Application for exemption of loadshedding, due to no power between loadshedding slots.

Ronel Prinsloo (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#45

We sit without power due to tripping at substation and members can't do their work. And once the power is on the Loadshedding starts. We losing all our food in the fridge and our Fish in the tanks.

Frances Smit (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#46

I live in the area and work from home. The power going off right after loadshedding is greatly impacting our lives .

Karin Conradie (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

Our power situation is getting out of hand

Sanet Scheepers (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#51

We have recently moved to Lynnwood and the little over a week that we have been residing in the area the extended period of power outage has made it very difficult to be able to work from home as well as do our laundry and cooking.

Charl Venter (Lynnwood, 2023-09-14)

#56

Constant without power in 24th street.
We had to install a new gate motor,today 14 September because of the many power surges.

Yvonne Engelbrecht (Tshwane , 2023-09-14)

#57

We are desperate to have electricity! It’s becoming unbearable!

Cherene Cook (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#59

I am signing because of damage to equipment, incapacity to do business due to frequent power outages, now also unplanned outages. We are currently in the 35th hour of no electricity, regardless of scheduled outages.

Willem Scholtz (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#62

All we have is load shedding and cable theft

Michelle Jansen van Rensburg (Thswane, 2023-09-14)

#63

Every time load shedding ended the power trip for a few hours.

Markus Van den Berg (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#65

Everytime after loafshedding the powe trips and it takes up to 8 hours to restore.

Leon Scheepers (Pretiria, 2023-09-14)

#67

The constant power interruptions after loadshedding. Without power now for 2 days

Sannie Bester (Lynnwood Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#68

It is ridiculous for us to have to put up with repeated and prolonged power outages on top of loadshedding.

Noel Haupt (Tshwane, 2023-09-14)

#70

Invariably after load shedding the power trips and stays off for long periods

Pierre Steyn (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#74

Its affecting my everyday life , work and life, and is a major inconvenience.

Rochè Vorster (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#75

I support the petition to propose exemption of Lynnwood and Menlopark from Loadshedding

Hermien Fourie (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#76

There is obviously a problem when the power gets switched back on after loadshedding.

Vanessa Olckers (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#77

Tired of my power off all the time

Jacques Du Plessis (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#78

As a resident of Lynnwood who also works from home, my neighbours and I are facing significant challenges due to extended power outages that go beyond the official load-shedding schedule set by Eskom. These disruptions are not only inconvenient but also professionally disruptive, and they last for unacceptable lengths of time. The issues appear to originate from infrastructure failures in Tshwane and a lack of prompt action to resolve them. Immediate intervention is urgently required to address this unacceptable level of service.

Bertus Viljoen (Pretoria, Lynnwood, 2023-09-14)

#79

Constant power failures upon loadshedding schedules.

All my food in my fridge has gone bad twice, much money wasted and it's something that can't be claimed back according the telephone operators.

Cell phones can't be charged, making it difficult to keep up with security when the need should take place to call emergency lines, i.g. The Police or Ambulance services.

Arrangements should constantly be made for washing of clothes of the entire household to be done elsewhere and transportation costs thereof can't be claimed back from the Government.

Water and sanitation arrangements should constantly be made elsewhere, and can't be claimed back.

Ivan van der Merwe (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#80

I'm signing because I'm beyond tired of not knowing whether I will have power or not after loadshedding.

Keisha H (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#82

We have constant electricity breakdowns within 30 minutes after loadshedding due to the grid being unstable.

Thys Snyman (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#85

I’m signing this because what is happening in this areas is unfair. This is the 4th time in three weeks that we don’t have power due to sub station problems or cable theft.
Most South Africans are experiencing loadshedding on a daily basis and that is already hard enough.

We all want an increase on our salaries but if the company you are working for are not able to give an increase it means the employees should work harder and smarter. Everytime something breaks or garbage is not removed it will cost the City of Tshwane extra money because extra equipment will be needed or employees will have to get extra money.
So by stopping this strike and unnecessary costs, employees will maybe have the chance to get an increase if unnecessary costs are avoided!

So please please please stop burning trucks it costs extra money
Stop stealing cables it costs extra money
Stop not picking up the waste because eventually it will cost extra money.

The residents of Menlopark and Lynnwood are only a small % of the population in Pretoria/Tswane, so many others are affected to. But we need to take action otherwise the residents will stop paying rates and taxes becaues there is currently no service provided for the money we pay each month

Michelle van Wyk (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#87

I'm signing because I am sick of going weeks without power and it being restored for only an hour or two then the power is off again for 3 to 4 days due to problems with substations.

Nikita De Caires (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#90

I have had no power 48hours due to our sub station tripping every time load shedding kicks in

Michelle Theron (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#92

We cannot live without electricity for days on end. Please allow the infrastructure to be fixed so that we do not suffer more than we already have to under the rolling blackouts.

Du Toit Ferreira (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#93

Of the continued Power disruptions in the Lynnwood area and the municpality's failure to do anything about it and acknowledge something is wrong

Ashleigh Harmzen (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#94

We forever not having electricity because it trips after our scheduled time and it takes 12 hours or a day to come back. This is frustrating and inconvenient

Martha Ndlovu (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#96

I’m struggling to live and operate a business

Jason Olivier (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#99

We are without power for more than 24 hours. Our freezers are defrosting and batteries have run down

Lita Regenass (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#102

I'm signing this petition because of the power outages that has been happening now for 2 days now. It's very inconvenient for all of us and interrupting our daily lives. Every time when there's loadshedding and after it's loadshedding we get power outages every time after loadshedding.

Tatum Rabie (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#104

Power outages outside of load shedding schedules times have been too much!!

Liesl Visagie (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#106

There is only so much load shedding we are able to withstand, particularly as we face constant power breakdowns.

Gail Bloemink (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#107

It impacts someone I care about.

Tashca Kotze (Nieuw Muckleneuk, 2023-09-14)

#109

Load shedding exemption for Lynnwood & Menlo pRk

Matlakala Sekgobela (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#110

We have been extremely affected by extended power cuts over and above normal loadshedding.

Siyabonga Vezi (Menlo Park, Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#112

It is ridiculous to be without electricity the whole time, loadshedding already is not normal!

Charley Strohmenger (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#113

For Lynnwood South to be exempted from loadsheddinh

Janie Venter (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#114

This matter is important to me. Days without power is unacceptable.

Gustav Bosman (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#115

I'm signing because I live in Menlo Park and we have been subdued to multiple power outages, over and above the loadshedding due to the problems at the Lynnwood Substation. We've been without power for days at a time, often with no information on when it will be returned. I believe that we should recieve an exemption from loadshedding to make up for the days we have not had power as promised.

Dylan Benyon (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#116

A precedent has already been set in the far east of Pretoria that is served by the Wapadrand Sub Station. No load shedding due to ongoing expensive breakdowns.
Also consider the loss of income to the Municipality when the residents make permanent arrangements to use other sources of power eg wood, gas, petrol & diesel and solar.

Mike Frow (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#118

We endure more hours of power cuts outside of scheduled loads shedding than during. No one should be forced to live like this.

Pieter Van der Vyver (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#119

We need power after loadshedding or an exemption

Maria Amaral (Pretoria , 2023-09-14)

#121

The residents, which I am one, have constant power outages straight after our load shedding shedule due to an unknow fault. We can not be with out electricity for these lengthy periods.

Michelle Pringle (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#122

My girlfriend is suffering

Jonathan Ireland (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#123

This continuous problem of no power after load shedding has an adverse effect on my rental bussiness and has become a majour ploblem. I hope we can be taken off the load shedding schedule until such time as this terrible problem has been sorted

Andre Russouw (Pretoria, 2023-09-14)

#126

The ongoing additional outages, after normal load shedding, for days on end.are very inconvenient, impact on our security and lead to damages being incurred.

Jean Slabbert (Pretoria, 2023-09-15)

#127

I would like exemption from load shedding

Liki Millan (Pretoria , 2023-09-15)

#128

We are loosing allot of money with in the comunity as people try to run their small businesses from home and food we have to spoil from fridges and freezers not working!
Eskom and Tswane Municipality keep escalating prices for a services they are not delivering! Failed state is an understatement!!!

Francois Tonkin (Pretoria , 2023-09-15)

#129

The power cuts on top loadshedding is adversely affecting my business.

Johan Ehlers (Pretoria , 2023-09-15)

#131

The situation without electricity - for which we pay for - is becoming totally intolerable and unacceptable.

Emmerentia De Meyer (Pretoria, 2023-09-15)

#133

It’s getting completely ridiculous now. Also worried that the Loadshedding is currently actually causing more damage than good.

Jennifer Pretorius (Pretoria, 2023-09-15)

#135

I live in Menlo Park and I am a student. These outages make doing my work very difficult.

Morgan Nel (Pretoria, 2023-09-15)

#136

Constantly without electricity, even when not loadshedding as power not go on after loadshedding finished

Nicolette Miller (Pretoria, 2023-09-15)

#137

My business(restaurant) cannot run on a generator for extended hours due to the extreme costs related

François Steyn (Pretoria , 2023-09-15)

#138

Because I am staying in the Hillside

Frik Pieterse (Pta, 2023-09-15)

#139

Six days without electricith

Leonie Van der Linde (Pretoria, 2023-09-15)

#141

We have numerous trips immediately after load shedding and the power stays off for sometimes days at a time… this demonstrates faulty equipment at the substation and is beyond simply frustrating for the residents, it’s unlovable and extremely detrimental to safely.

Ian Potgieter (Pretoria, 2023-09-15)

#142

Grant us permission to stop loadshedding, till the electricity PROBLEM can be fixed. Some areas in Lynnwood is without electricity for 6 days.

Marieta Georghiou (Pretoria , 2023-09-16)

Of ill health and old age

Pieter Badenhorst (Pretoria, 2023-09-16)

As a resident in the area it impacts our livelihood although we pay rates and taxes on time

Endlin Davel (Pretoria, 2023-09-16)

#147

Our power regularly does not come back on after load shedding. I am dependent on electricity for my work and it also affects the security of our area.

Madelein Van Den Berg (La Montagne, Pretoria, 2023-09-16)

#148

Loadshedding is one thing, but having erratic power outages and you cannot plan for them is just unacceptable

Yolanda Meyer (Pretoria, 2023-09-17)

#149

I am signing because it is impossible to have 4 hours loadshedding and then no power due to a trip for many more hours. I have kids to cook for and they need to study and bath. Not to mention the security risks during extended power outages!

Maricelle Ehlers (Pretoria, 2023-09-17)

#153

I am tired of paying for electricity but not having anything

Odette Koch (Pretoria, 2023-09-18)

#155

The electricity outage continues for longer periods after the load shedding schedules. On occasion it continues for the whole day and evening which causes great inconvenience

Lizaan Maralack (Pretoria , 2023-09-19)

#157

My mother requires oxygen and cannot use her machine if the power is off. This becomes an issue especially when power is off for more than the scheduled period.

Isabel Scheepers (Pretoria, 2023-09-19)

#161

I agree fully

Adv Mark Marais (Pretoria, 2023-09-19)

#162

I'm signing this petition to show my support for this cause.

André Hattingh (Tshwane, 2023-09-20)

#163

The power grid is weak and failing. Load shedding is busy causing more damages and prolonged outages in the area.

Wynand Louw (Pretoria, 2023-09-20)

#164

We have breakdowns after loadshedding as well as cable theft, we really cant cope with no power for days

Christine Arndt (Pretoria, 2023-09-20)

#165

I’m signing because we have constant power failures AFTER loadshedding

Michelle Butler (Pretoria, 2023-09-21)

#168

Loadshedding is bad enough but power outages combined with loadshedding is unbearable

Waseem Nicholas (Pretoria , 2023-09-26)

#169

Agree with reasoning

Louis Visagie (Pretoria, 2023-09-26)

#170

This is a major concern

Adele Wilken (Pretoria, 2023-09-28)

#172

Menlo Park needs to be exempted from load shedding until the problem of tripping is resolved reliably!

Joachim Huyssen (Pretoria , 2023-10-05)
