Basic services that we are paying for isn't maintained while the public must just stand in for additional expenses to keep households and businesses going.

Kempton Park - even though it is one of the CCC areas of Ekurhuleni contributing the most revenue - has been neglected severely when it comes to maintenance. This is a manifestation of thus kind of problem caused by continuous neglect over more than a decade.

Departments are set up to do metros maintenance and upgrades - this must be a normal thing

I'm signing this petition because myself and my husband have had numerous issues resulting from the multiple power outages. It is unacceptable the lack of maintenance on these substations. This needs to be addressed immediately.

Paying for poor service delivery that causes more financial stress on people paying ridiculous service delivery prices already

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#631

We pay diligently every month just want service delivery

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#632

Because this situation with our electricity as well as with our water has now become a crisis level which is being attended too by incompetent and under qualified, inexperienced personnel.
We need experienced professionals attending to issues that we are paying for . Clowns belong in a circus

It is very inconvenient to not have power. Our food get spoiled. Our appliances get damaged. Our children get upset because there is no hot water to shower and cold showers has to be taken. Studies and home work gets done by candle light

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#637

I have lost all my fish, a months supply of vegetables and meat, not to mention the inconvenience of needing to try and cook and see to an 80year old cancer sufferer pensioner

(Allen Grove, 2019-06-11)

#639

I am a medical unfitt pensioner,who is paying for my dammaged food and losses,is my electricity bill going to be discounted.if we don't have water,we don't have power but our electricity Bill stay the same or it increases in price.Why is there free power to the Marikahna squatters camp?

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

We have had no electriciry for almost a week and all my meat and food stuff is going off. I have small children. Makes life very difficult for us. Need electricity sorted ASAP

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#650

I can't afford to go without electricity. I have an 84 year old mother to take care of and I couldnt give her the proper care with this power outage of 4 days. I also lost a lot of food that went bad in the fridge and I cant afford to replace it. Now we will go hungry.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#651

The council are incompetant.

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#652

The tax and rate payers of Kempton Park insist on the contractual obligation by the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality be kept concerning all services supplied. This metro council has failed in their oblications and need to be suspended or removed.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#653

I am signing, because I am sick and tired of the lies that come from the council. What are we paying for, a third rate country. Enough is enough, for the last 25+ years no maintenance has taken place. Things do not run on their own without maintenance. If I did not maintain my house and property it will fall down around me. We pay for our services, so we expect the services. Our security is also being compromised Thank you

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#654

I am losing all my food in fridge and all my meat in the deep freezer but this not good for my family at all.
Please advise who is going to pay for my lose food and meat. Thanks and regards Jaco Bester

I am affected badly because of recurrence of power and water interruptions at home

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#659

Our power situation is a major problem

(Kemptonpark, 2019-06-11)

#661

I don't believe the reason they use for the damaged caused to the sub equipment. My guess is that the
equipment was overloaded due to new development in the which was not planned for
By the responseble
People. They upgrading only now under the unbrella of cable theft. This also cost all residents lots of money to run standby generator for long periods that they was not able to plan for. Those responsible must be dealt with - large fines!!

(Kemptonpark, 2019-06-11)

#662

Basic needs aren't being met. I'm a single mother living in a house with no working alarm. The safety of my family is imperative.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#663

Our business is under a lot of stress due to the power outages

(Glen Marais, 2019-06-11)

Poor service delivery and maintenance or sub stations

(Edleen, 2019-06-11)

I HAD TO SPEND R 400 ON GENERATOR PETROL TO MAINTAIN MY ELECTRICITY. EMM MUST COMPENSATE ME.

Pathetic service delivery, a pay lots of money for nothing. If it is not the power outages then it is no water. Lack of maintenance.....it is a disgrace!!!!!

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

I'm signing this petition because of the electricity that has been off since Saturday. Lost so much groceries as I recently moved here and no one to store stuff in.

Moeg vir krag onderbrekings

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#687

I also got affected by the power outage as St Geroge Residence.
Kind regards

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#690

I am astonished that this kind of incident has happened in Kempton Park. With the astronomically high rates and taxes that we (residents) pay, one would expect that Ekurhuleni power dept. would do frequent maintenance on all substations, especially before winter. Then blame it on cable theft . . really??? What amazes me even further, is the lack of urgency to restore basic power needs to all suburbs inflicted within a reasonable time. 86 hours is just not good enough. And who knows what further costs will be inflicted upon us rate payers after this restoration. :( Shocking service Ekurhuleni!! Absolutely shocking!! Get your act together or get people in who can.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#696

I am signing this but i am 99% sure nothing is going to happen.... there is just no sense of urgency anywhere in this country. I DID vote but not long after the ANC got what they wanted, we are back in a visioud downward spiral to wastage...

(Birchleigh, 2019-06-11)

This power outage affected us.

(Kempton park, 2019-06-11)

#698

The power stations.in kempton park keep blowing up due.to lack of service delivery.

(Kempton, 2019-06-11)

#699

I'm signing this on behalf of all the elderly in the retirement villages in Kempton Park Although the management of Allen Park, has given us each a warm meal, which we appreciate dearly, we are suffering otherwise with no warm water... we can't bath, wash, make tea etc. We can't use generators either at our flats, as the gasses are to dangerous for the elderly residents around us. Thank you.

(Allen Grove, 2019-06-11)

#702

THIS IS REALLY GETTING OUT FO HAND.
DO REGULAR MAINTENANCE INSTEAD OF PUT THE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS.

(KEMPTON PARK, 2019-06-11)

#703

Tired of paying high prices and stuck without power and service delivery

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#707

I am signing because as an affected resident and owner I would like to see a permanent solution to the the frequent outages.

(Ekurhuleni, 2019-06-11)

#711

We've had enough of paying for services we are not getting. We pay without fail but no maintenance is being done. In our suburb we have weekly occurrences of water, electricity and refuse removal service failures. Enough is enough!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#712

Tired of being without electricity... tired of excuses and poor management

(Gauteng, 2019-06-11)

#715

I am fed up with poor service.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#721

POOR SERVICE DELIVERY. No electricity. No water. Potholes.

(Aston Manor, 2019-06-11)

#725

We have had numerous outages over the past few years and there doesn't seem to be a real plan to fix this long-term.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#730

It is unacceptable to be without electricity for 72 hours!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#731

Sick and tired of the excuses regarding power outages.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#733

I was issued with a notice last month & incurred a penalty for paying my rates & taxes 2 days late & yet Ekhurhleni cannot supply electricity for days & there is no recourse for this inability to provide a service and we have to incur added expenses to provide for gas cooking etc & warmth during this power outage. Who is liable for this expense & the cost for food going off etc.???

(Glen Marais Ext 22, 2019-06-11)

#736

This is unacceptable.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#737

We keep on paying rates and taxes and get nothing in return. If it is not rubbish that isn’t removed, we have no water and/ or electricity. It’s got to stop.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#740

I am sick and tired of power outages and living in darkness.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#745

I work from home but have been without power for 4 days already. It’s unacceptable that this happened due to poor maintenance on substations. I’ve lost income and had to cancel meetings with clients as I could not finish their work.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#747

This is the 4th day without power and everything we bought is rotten!! What a waste of money we dont have

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#749

I’m sick to death of all the power cuts and nothing is being done to disconnect all the illegal connections or follow up on outstanding payments.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#750

Had enough of bad service

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#754

I agree with the power situation and the maintenance on the roads are as bad. We have had a severe pothole/sinkhole in Quinine Road for 3 months and it is still not repaired.

(Gauteng, 2019-06-11)

#759

Sick and TIRED to pay for service that is not available. Keep on increasing rates for what. Food is rotten in my freezer who cares about that?

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

I ek is moeg om op en af te ry om my kinders in 'n warm stort te sit 'n gekookte bord kos te kan gee.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#765

I'm fed up with the lack of maintenance of the substation.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#767

Power and water issues.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#770

Of numerous power outages.

(Glen Marais, 2019-06-11)

#771

I am sick of the power outages and the lack of maintenance on the electric substations

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#772

Fed up with the outages if it's not water it's lights

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#774

Time for shocking service delivery and basic maintenance that we pay for stops.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#778

I'm really tired of the heavy rates I pay for nothing!!!

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#781

Without Power since Saturday.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#786

I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE OF OUR CITY . WHY MUST WE PAY SO MUCH TAXES AND STUFF IF THE MUNICIPALITIES DON't do their jobs!!!!!!!!!

(KEMPTONPARK, 2019-06-11)

#787

I am tired of the services in Kempton Park. The waste removal, electricity and water is a problem at least once a week. If its not the one thing then its both, and it is completely unacceptable.

(Gauyeng, 2019-06-11)

#788

I am signing because this power failure left a lot of people without basic needs. It also seems that routine maintenance hasn't been done to these switchgear

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-11)

#789

I can't wait to get out of this hellhole. The people of this country only seek division and destruction. Let them have it. I will gladly take my skillset elsewhere, where I will feel safer, more included in my community, and will only have to tolerate a certain amount of my taxes being lost due to corruption and not all of it. Where did the money go that was meant for maintenance and upgrading of the electricity grid here? Who was meant to be doing the work? Who will be held accountable, and what repercussions will come from it? All these questions shall remain unanswered. To hell with this country. It has lost all respect and love for me, and in turn, I have for it.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-11)

#790

I am sick of lack of professional help and proper qualified people who are let down because off bee

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-11)

#792

It's ridiculous for all these power outages.

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#794

No service from Ekurhuleni- without power/water for days

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#799

There is no urgency from the municipality to resolve the ongoing water and power outages. Where is all the money paid by rate payers going??

(Kempton Park, 2019-06-12)

#800

We have never seen such incompetent politicians... rather looking after their own pockets, than spending on maintenance and serving ghe people that have elected them in the first place.
