Outages during business hours have a negative effect on businesses, especially small businesses resulting in closure of the business and job losses.(Germiston, 2019-09-23)

I'm tired of the continuous days on end without power . I stand in solidarity with my fellow Kemptonians who have no power for days and sometimes a week on end.(Kempton Park, 2019-09-27)

Our electricity and water issues are out of control, we go without electricity for 5 days at a time and then when the power goes back on the water is off and so we live.. And still pay the same bill which is crazy(Kempton Park, 2019-09-27)

We have been having a very long power outages every week sometimes even 2 a week. Lasting up to 23 hours with no explanation from them and the people at the call center are very rude and just through the phone down in your ear when we report it. We have lost a lot of money on food stuff going bad.(Germiston, 2019-10-05)

Weekly power outages for 12 hours or more; bad roads full of potholes, continuous burst water pipes water streaming down suburbs days on end. We the public are reprimanded about saving water when is the city going to step up about water spillage. Stop the forever expensive parties and entertainment and start entertaining the bad non maintained infrastructure of our City. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my concerns.(Germiston, 2019-10-05)

We are sick and tired of these outages and the turnaround time is ridiculous. Cables are constantly being stolen. Some cables are just lying above the surface(Germiston, 2019-10-07)

The absolute poor service water,electricity and waste removal in Kempton Park(Kempton Park, 2019-10-07)

The outages at least once a weeknis unacceptable and annoying. It takes sometimes 24hrs+ to resolve the outages and we actually pay for a service we do not receive. Unacceptable(Germiston, 2019-10-07)

With permanent power interruptions we have damages to all our electrical appliances and we must keep fixing without any compensation from Ekurhuleni. Most of the time when we report a power outage in our area, the call centre is not even aware of a power outage. We have a power box in our street that has been bumped by a large truck (which should not be driving on this street) and still not been attended too. How are they going to fix the problem if they cannot even attend to one power box?????(Germiston, 2019-10-07)

I expect the service I pay an exhorbinent amount for. You have cost me a fortune on batteries, food that had to be thrown away and take aways. Not to mention the amount of times I was expecting guests and had to cancel lunches and dinners at my home due to no electricity. Get your act together and start delivering what we pay for!(Alberton, 2019-10-07)

Power outages in my area are too often affecting my business(Germiston, 2019-10-07)

Im signing because everytime there is a power outage it is dangerous to drive around and to get into and out of your vehicle. Also it is costing us money as my electrical equipment is under pressure to get all my products cold again specially if it is after 2 or3 days. I have also almost lost my water pump due to this power cuts.(Albermarle, 2019-10-08)

I'm tired of bring without power for a whole day & well into the night. It makes driving home in the pitch dark very dangerous without added stress on pitch black no lights!(Germiston, 2019-10-08)

Enough is enough. We have a voice because we pay rates and taxes. Stop allowing our beautiful country to slide into a slum. Stop corruption. stop the monopoly. Give us back our dignity, pride and hope as homeowners. Stop now before we can't sell our homes because the economy is already affected and is only getting worse. Stop before the rest of the world disinvests. All of Africa depends on our stability.(Germiston, 2019-10-16)
