This is not acceptable. It's costing businesses money, it's costing wasted food, destroyed appliances.

This isn't a way to live.

The constant power outages has resulted in damage to appliances when the power is switched back on.
We also have no water when there are power outages as the pump at Rand Water can't pump water to our area

Since 1994 this country has spiraled down in every possible way

EACH government that comes into power are worse than their predecessors in South Africa

The governments since 1994 have been a sick joke

They have robbed
Corrupted
Violated
Stolen
Removed all RELIGION FROM SCHOOLS
LINED THEIR POCKETS WITH TSX PAYERS MONEY
CHEATED ON HANDING OUT OF TENDERS
THEY ARE GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL
THEY ARE SICK IN EVERY WAY
AND GOD IS GOING TO TAKE YOU OUT
YOU ARE VIPERS STEALING FROM WIDOWS ORPHANS UNDERPRIVILEGED THE ELDERLY

OH GOD ERADICATE THRM NOW

#73

The situation in Albemarle is unacceptable. Compared to many friends and acquaintances who live in other areas, we experience an abnormally frequent issue with power and water outages. Something needs to be done about this matter URGENTLY. We pay taxes and we pay for these services. We have a right to know what's wrong and what will be done to sort out the problems. This is no longer something we can tolerate.

(Germiston, 2019-06-29)

#77

The constant power outages, the shortage of water and the non collection of our waste is totally unacceptable! We are expected to pay for services, that are not being renderer. Disgrace!!!

(Germiston, 2019-06-29)

#78

The excessive amount of power outages, has cost us severely not only for petrol for the generator, but spoiled food, loss of appliances due to surges caused by on and off and then on and off again, 12 hour outages and multiple outages back to back, and then also note areas directly surrounding (in worst case directly across the street, the School had power and we were without)are in and we were without power for an additional 3 hours, this all costs us to replace appliances, batteries, food, fuel, etc and to top it off, we are paying the excessively high forced increase to Eskom, and the levy on top of the purchases every month

(Germiston, 2019-06-29)

#79

Terrible service delivery from COE with electricity refuse removal and water management

(Germiston, 2019-06-29)

#83

We have far too many power outages in our area which take far too long to be attended to. Currently no power for 28 hours. No alarms working. Food in deep freeze defrosted. But we still have to pay normal charges with no compensation from council

(Germiston, 2019-06-29)

#85

Power outages equipment replacement batteries on motors gate alarm and more

(Germiston, 2019-06-29)

(Germiston, 2019-06-30)

#108

#110

I'm signing because I'm tired of losing electronics and appliances and it getting proper and honest answers

(Germiston, 2019-06-30)

#111

The outages are now preventing smme,s in the area from conducting business - a constitutional right. The cost to run generators as often as we are doing is affecting bottom lines ultimately forcing small businesses to either close or run at a loss.
On the normal day to day living fridges and freezers are off for too long a period thereby the loss of perishable goods. Hot water non existent for basic hygiene and with families with small children, basic bathing cannot take place. Appliances like stoves, if not gas, cannot be used affecting daily meals. Where families dont have a generator for smaller appliances like kettles and toasters - they have nothing to get them out of this dire situation.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-30)

(Germiston, 2019-06-30)

If power supply was privatised in SA, Eskom and Ekurhuleni would be the absolute last place I would buy my electricity from.
If power supply is your thing then get it right!

We pay our electricity every month and our freezer and fridges run down and we have to suffer that losses as well. Do something now!

Affecting business

(Germiston, 2019-06-30)

#169

We are paying for services that are not being rendered. Food and elec applinces are being damaged. Losing income, cannot plan our activities erc. I dont have strong enough words for the shocking, useless and absolutelly apalling way that a municipality who gets paid by its residents can treat them this way especially as it is being run by the majority who has voted them into power. I am one very angry resident. Ihave so many complaints but space will not allow me to set out allof them. Besides that - i dont think that anyone in the powers that be are actually reading this petitiin or could give a damn.

(Germistin, 2019-06-30)

#170

I am signing this petition because of bad planning regarding electricity.

(Germiston, 2019-06-30)

These power outages are ridiculous. Ekurhuleni Municipality does not care about the community. No maintenance is ever done as there's not enough staff, illegal connections in suburb and rural areas are rife and not monitored, there is just a no care attitude!
