The electricity outages forces me to buy fuel for the generator to prevent my food from going off, costing +- R25 hour

I'm perplexed by the lack of knowledge and commitment of the municipality with regards to service delivery issues. Especially the constant power failures and water cuts.

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

We sitting without power from Saturday morning. Everyday we must buy petrol for the generator to provide that our food not going for waste.

Every time they blame is on cable theft, what about lack of maintenance?

I am tired of this poor service standard on upkeep of electrical equipment. Some areas still without electricity 4 days later. Shame on you Ekurhuleni municipality

I am tired of the issues we are having with all the power outages. How are people suppose to function especially families with small children and babies

(KEMPTON PARK, 2019-06-11)

#418

I am fed up with power failures and four days without electricity for paying customers is totally unacceptable.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#419

We need what we paid for!!!!

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#421

Not only has the latest disruption upset our daily routines, we have no hot water for basic hygiene, our security is lowered due to gate motors etc no longer operating and being shrouded in darkness, our sinuses are upset due to gas, smoke and paraffin in the air, normal meals take ages to cook because of a single plate gas cooker. To top it all our freezers defrost and WE are supposed to foot the bill for the cost of the spoiled meat etc....

I want to have Kempton be Better

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#424

I can

(Van Riebeeckpark, 2019-06-11)

#425

The power failure is getting to much

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#430

We have had enough of the constant electrical, water and rubbish collection issues that are plaguing our city.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#433

I have lost all my meat, fish,etc. This is an ongoing story.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

CoE needs to be proactive, not reactive. Upgrades and proper fixes need to be made instead of waiting until the system fails. System failures not only cause inconvenience for residents but come at a greater cost, I’m sure, to the taxpayers than an upgrade or proper repair would.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#442

Incompetent Metro is running our existing infrastructure to past it's breaking point. We are living in a city, the future "Aerotropolis" and it's embarrassing. Ekurhuleni you take our money willingly and your service has failed! You need to employ competent and efficient staff, improve your standards and service delivery NOW!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#443

I am fed up with poor service delivery

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#446

The metro can't seem to do their jobs

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#447

I’m irritated with poor service delivery.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-11)

#452

We were not affected (luckily) by the latest incident, but were somehow inconvenienced by our own humanity to others. Therefore we had to store food in our fridges/freezers and help people bath and also helped them with the means to heathen up or cook some warm food for people in the affected areas.
It is not the first outage, and what is disgusting is that the Metro do not accept responsibility of acknowledging their own failure to maintain power, but to blame it (as always) on cable theft! In my opinion the Metro is NOT trustworthy and we cannot rely on them for any services, especially during the cold winter, without wondering why maintenance issues was not dealt with in the past (or controlled) in order to install new components (cables etc) as and when it became clear the old ones were due for replacement.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#454

Poor service delivery and I am paying high tariffs for this service

(kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#456

We pay for electricity a service we NOT getting

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#458

I’m tired of the power outages.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#459

People with the knowledge to fix problem quicker not getting jobs at eskom and or municipality

(Kempton on park, 2019-06-11)

#464

As I sit in my home, wd have to endure no hot water and noise from numerous generators. This is an outrage that the Metro shiuld know of issues with Power and Water supply, but too lazy and complacent to take a tion to repair and therefore provide adequate working services to the community paying for their luxurious living.

(Kmp, 2019-06-11)

#467

I'm sick and tired of paying for service NOT received.

(Van Riebeeck Park, 2019-06-11)

#475

I don’t believe that the power outage was because of cable theft. I think it was because of lack of maintenance unddr the ANC government in Ekhuruleni. We need a report on the actual fact that caused this outage.

(Kemptonpark, 2019-06-11)

#478

If it is not the water supply interrupted it is the electricity. There is no maintenance. We VERY seldom had this problem before ABC govern. It is because the money are used for luxuries for themselves & not for the city's maintenance.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#480

I deserve to have my basic human rights looked after. We have lost a month worth of food and consumables. I could not do my works admin and am loosing out hugely on mt research time due to no access to internet. My data used on my phone for work matters will be astronomical
Please see to it that proper maintenance of our now delicate infrastructure is done timeously

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#481

Service delivery in all aspects needs vast improvment

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#486

I agree with the petition

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#490

of the countless outages we have and so frequently without valid answers.

(gauteng, 2019-06-11)

#494

This is not the first time that there has been problems with taht particular sub-station and I am sure that we will encounter problems with the others in time.

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#497

I'm signing because enough is enough. We work hard, pay our taxes and pay for services not received!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#498

I agree with this petition

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#508

i am tired of the power cuts and continuous answers that never make sense faulty cables, faulty cables is always the issue.

(johannesburg, 2019-06-11)

#515

It is now day 4 without electricity....

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#519

Tired of constant electricity outages.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#522

I'm tired of no electricity due to lack of maintenance on infrastructure.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#523

Every week we either have a water problem or an electrucity problem! Sort it out please! Kempton Park is going backwards FAST!!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#525

Due to lack of care for our needs and people getting paid for jobs they don't do, we are losing food that is spoiled and tremendous loss of income!!! Who will refund us?

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#526

Enough is enough.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#530

Pathetic service, government need to get their house in order and look after its people. I am utterly annoyed with this!!!!! Have a quilt to finish, is a week behind now!!!??

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#533

We as resident are frustrated with the petty excuses for continuous power outages. We are currently enduring an estimated 7 Day power outage, with no definite restoration date.

(Norkem Park, Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#534

I am signing because in the last couple of weeks we either had no electricity or no water. We pay our taxes and settle our Ekurhuleni accounts monthly, but not one week pass without power interruptions. This is unacceptable.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#537

My food got rotten in the Fridge. and i threw it away.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#540

I'm a concerned resident who are being disrupted by the incompetence of the municipality. I'm working and studying at the same time, I need lights to catch up with my school work after hours. What's worse is that if you skip the paying day, after the 5th of the month they are so quick to send the final notice even before the monthly bill,but their part is badly attended to

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#541

The level of planning and professionalism is shockingly low to non-existent, and the current bad service delivery cannot be tolerated any longer

(Glen Marais X1, Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#544

I'm signing because my elderly parents live here with serious health concerns and don't need the stress of having power outages on a continuous basis.

(MTUNZINI (Kwazulu Natal - 3867), 2019-06-11)

#546

We need better service delivery in Kempton Park it is not fair to all the residents that we are constantly without water, refuse removal and electricity

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#547

I have had enough of this no electricity nonsense, because we have been with out power since Saturday I have had to through away meat to the value of about R3000 due to non maintenance and lack of services, who is going to compusate us for our losses and the electricity bill once the lights are back on to heat our geysers and refreeze our fridges and freezers............... Us south Africans must just fork out money cause the government can't do theirs jobs

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#550

I am sick and tired of getting the Ekurhuleni Municipality to provide the services they are responsible for.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#553

It's BS that people have to sit without power substations don't het maintained.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#561

Power outages are costing me a fortune and my appliances are failing one after the other. Barely a year old!! Now I am the one that need to claim from my insurance...

(Kempton, 2019-06-11)

#562

It is ridiculous that we have to pay taxes and municipal taxes for services that we don't have. First it was garbage that was laying on the pavements for weeks, then we don't have water for days on several occasions as well as no electricity. How on earth must we stay positive.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#563

We have been affected by the outages and have damaged cables as a result. Costing us money to fix.

(Ekurhuleni, 2019-06-11)

#565

Taxpayers are the only people suffering

(Kemptonpark, 2019-06-11)

#566

I do not find the service received acceptable. We are paying members of the public & deserve to receive the service we have paid for. If the substation were properly maintained, it would not explode, & if professionals were working on it these problems could be avoided. In addition losses suffered because of this are unacceptable.

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#567

I'm sick and tired of the crap excuses being given out regarding the power outages and no renumeration for that.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#568

I am fed up with this negligence!!!!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#572

we lost a lot of money and we cant let this happen every time

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#573

Tired of the power outages

(Kemptonpark, 2019-06-11)

#577

Far to often we are without power or water it’s becoming a weekly issue

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#578

Numerous power outages and loss of assets due to this

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#580

We are tired of not having power and water. Something has to be done about it.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#588

I want reliable service for my taxes.

(Ekurhuleni, 2019-06-11)

#592

Poor service- poor infrastructure, Ekurhuleni lack of service

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#595

Tired of poor service delivery

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#599

The management of substations are placing a huge financial burden on residents.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#600

Because we had enough bad service delivery and sick of bad management and to pay for all of this

(Kemptonpark, 2019-06-11)
