My house is unprotected due to the fact that the alarm battery only last for a short while without electricity. I have lost all my food in my fridge as well as my freezer. I have overspend on my budget to purchase fuel for my generator.

Day5 without electricity

(Norkem Park, 2019-06-12)

#817

The constant electrical and water suoply failures are inconvenient and costly.

(Kempton Parj, 2019-06-12)

#820

Electricity to be restored today, as we are sitting without power since Saturday morning

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#821

It is absolutely ridiculous that we are without electricity for 4 days now. Then we still get fed a load of bull that it is due to cable theft. Rather be upfront and say it is due to bad maintenance but don't lie to residents! Get your act together Ekurhuleni!

Too much losses due to electricity outage.
Seems like nothing is being done to help the community!

(Glen Marais, 2019-06-12)

These power outages are unfair

(Kempton park, 2019-06-12)

#834

Tired of enduring the inconvenience of either water or electricity cut off's. Yet rates just escalating but services don't improve

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#835

I'm sick and tired of power and water issues in Kempton Park

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#837

We have had no electricity since Saturday the 8the June, 2019.

(Norkem Park, 2019-06-12)

#838

I sign this cause I believe the Erkhuleni municipality is generally doing a good job to maintain the infrastructure however I believe they can be more transparent regarding the causes of breakdown that we the residents are frequently inconvenienced with.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#839

I'm sick and tired of paying more and more towards municipal bills and getting less and less in return, due to bad management of the Ekurhuleni Metro

(KEMPTON PARK, 2019-06-12)

#840

We pay top rates for services at Ekurhuleni but have continuous breakdown in electricity and water department. We want refunds on the petrol for our generators we have to use. We also want a credit for the time limit we were without services!

(Kempton park, 2019-06-12)

#843

Negligence of behalf of the council due to not maintaining the infrastructure. Employ personnel who can project manage, set up schedules for routine checking and maintenance.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#846

We are having a HUGE price hike and no service to show for it

(Kempton park, 2019-06-12)

#847

I am gatvol of this lack of service delivery, while I continue to pay.

(Kenton Park, 2019-06-12)

#849

How do business survive?

(Kempton, 2019-06-12)

#852

Ekurhuleni municipality and Mayor Masina have proved themselves to be incompetent

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#857

I’m tired of being charged exorbitant tariffs for services that are not maintained and regularly serviced, which leaves the user inconvenienced!!!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#858

Something seriously needs to be done and immediately, the situation has never been so dire in all my years in Kempton Park.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#860

The GEB is one of Five tripple rated Estates in Ehurhuleni and the present disaster of the melt down of the Glen Marias power station that effected tens of thousands raises a mypriad of questions and readiness to deal with disasters

(Glen Erasmia, 2019-06-12)

#861

Enough is Enough
I'm in Kempton for the last 60 years and never experienced something like this Sham on the counsel and the so could Leaders ( playing toys drones)

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#862

I have suffered serious losses from these outages. My son is 7 months old still feeding on milk had to make fire on the ground just to ensure he,s fed and washed daily and yet im charged around R5500pm on services electricity being the bulk of this amount. Haven't slept for days having to guard my family due to no arlams and beams. In feddup!!!!

(Norkem Park Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#866

the electricity and water situation in Kempton Park needs to be attended to immediately. A full service maintenance should be done without delay!!! The power situation is NOT due to cable theft, don't try and lie about the situation, it is due to NO MAINTENANCE. We are paying for a service which is NOT being provided.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#870

Tomorrow will be the 6th day without electricity.. It is unacceptable, really. Loadshedding is fine, but this is outrageous.. You can just as well leave the situation as is, as we are used to no electricity by now.. One thing less to pay for each month!! That suits me perfectly.. Jaco terblanche should be the MAYOR as he ia the only one trying to assist..

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#872

Patheti to say the least. Lost al my meat and frozen veg wich i bought for the month. Myself and my wife has list our jobs and dont have anymore food time give my children. And we wont be able to claim it as the munisipality (like the goverment) always refuse to take any responsibility for anything they bugger up!.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-13)

#873

I am signing because of poor service from EM
if is not water then electricity i wonder what next
rubbish removal

(Ekurhuleni, 2019-06-13)

#875

This Municipality is not fit for purpose anymore!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-13)

#878

Poor maintenance of the infrastructure is just not acceptable causing week long outage.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-13)

#879

We have without electricity for 5 days and we are suffering. Come month end the municipality will want us to pay for the services that they didn't render

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-13)

#883

This situation is unacceptable and I dread future situations like this.

(Glen Marais, 2019-06-13)

#885

Service which we pay for and tired of cable theft.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-13)

#889

We continually have electricity interruptions or problems with water. Having no power for days on end is ridiculous and if proper maintenance was carried out we wouldn't have these problems. By not keeping up with maintenance and pre-empting problems before they arise is costing more in the long. Had adequate maintenance had been done the damage would not have been so bad

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-13)

#890

Of all the power outages

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-13)

#895

Sick and tired of power outages

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-13)

#900

I’ve been apart of all this and had to deal with random days of no lights for several days.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-13)

#902

I need power

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-14)

#903

I am signing because I am fed up with this nonsense, I am studying and working so I don't have the money to buy meat just to go rotten in my fridge. This crap must end now. #7days with no electricity

(Glen Marais, 2019-06-14)

#904

I am unhappy with service delivery from ekhuruleni.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-14)

#905

I have had enough of poor service.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-14)

#906

Because I am sick and tired of a metro council who don’t stick to their promises. I have much more to say but the space is too limited.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-14)

#907

We have regularly power failures with no notice and we seem to be ignored by the municipality we pay the say as everyone else however we get poor service. This substation is 1km from my house and we were the last to be connected... No apology or info from municipality

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-14)

#908

This didn't need to happen if competent people were constantly in place to do regular upgrades and maintenance. Obviously the mayor doesn't care as he wasn't affected and flying drones rather taking care of this matter costing rescidence alot of extra money! We oaynour rates and taxes, we pay PAYE, for what???!!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-14)

#909

Every month I get a ridiculous bill for water and lights, but we don't have any electricity most of the time, it's either no water or no electricity, this is absolutely un acceptable, I have to now not eat the rest of the month because all my food went bad

(Johanesburg, 2019-06-14)

#911

1- Ekurhuleni should do regular maintenance on all substations and upgrade the MV cables
2- a backup generator could’ve been used to minimize the blackout

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-14)

#912

Services in Kempton Park is disgusting. Everything is falling apart, electricity and water outages. Town looks like a pig sty. When will we as public have proper answers instead of this beating around the bush and get empty promises. We all want everyday utilities to work. Even going to the media is like water of a duck's back. Signing this petition from a very fed up Kemptonian.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-14)

#913

I am a resident of Kempton Park and our service delivery is bad for the amount of moneybwe have to pay every month. Struggle with refuse removal, electricity outage the last time was 80hours in VRP. Non water supply for 2 days, then again no electricity and water supply. LOW Water pressure in VRP as well

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-14)

#914

We are supposed to be the Aerotropolis of South Africa. We constantly sit without water & electricity. Instead of lining your pockets, get off the gravy train & maintain this town as it should be maintained.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-14)

#922

I’m tired of paying for non existent service delivery. The powers that be are only for themselves and not the community. We need change. Replace incompetent people with people who know how to do the job and want to work!!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-15)

#925

Lack of services and maintenance is reduculous. Should we strike by means of withholding our rates and taxes??

(Kempton park, 2019-06-15)

#926

Poor service delivery electricity failure problems for 7 days I lost almost 6500 rand

(Kempton park, 2019-06-15)

#927

I am tired of the perpetual issues and poor excuses from the metro, they need to plan and carry out effective maintenance

(Ekurhuleni, 2019-06-15)

#928

I'm signing because we don't get the service we are paying for.

#940

Enough is enough

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-16)

#943

I agree we have an on going issue with electrical and water supply. The issue need to be addressed and rectified.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-17)

#944

I am sick and tired of the negligence and uselessness. The electricity situation is pathetic. We pay for a service we don't get, and we have to throw away good expensive food because it has gone off due to no electricity.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-17)

#950

We pay for maintenance to be done on utilities.....

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-18)

#951

The outages affects us

(Kempton park, 2019-06-18)

#953

We require a CONSTANT electricity supply. Not all the outages for No reason...…..Maintenance done on a regular basis...……..All out appliances are breaking down. Security Risk is HIGH.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-19)

#956

The power failures in Kempton Park have been getting worse and worse an nothing is done about it. We are only offered lame excuses by the municipality. There are also continious issues in Glen Marais with water. These have also been getting worse over time.

Our hard earned tax money is used to pay salaries for an over staffed, useless municipality that can do nothing but talk and waste our money.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-20)

#957

I am fedup....

(kemptonpark, 2019-06-22)

(Gauteng, 2019-06-24)

We’re tired of begging for electricity as if we get it for free. I have spent a lot of money towards take aways due to power outages this month, this is unacceptable.

(Glenmarais, 2019-06-24)

(Kempton park, 2019-07-06)

#977

I am tired of these power outages in our area. Our food is getting spoilt, security is being comprised, any devices plugged in when the power switches off is now being damaged. We still have to pay the same bills.

(Kempton Park, 2019-07-06)

#978

I'm signing because, I am dick and tired of or no water or no power. What the hell is happening in SA. Why are we paying taxes , electricity. For what. Are we going into stone age. Why don't they fix the problem.

(Terenure, 2019-07-06)

#992

The power outages are RIDICULOUS!! Competent people should be employed to do the maintenance which should be done regularly.

(Edleen, 2019-07-07)

#993

We are experiencing far too many electricity outages, very few are recorded for residence to be aware of them to make alternative arrangements. Very inconvenient...

(Kempton Park, 2019-07-07)

I'm tired of sitting in the dark for hours

(Kempton park, 2019-07-07)
