Poor Service

Do you not have a heart?????

My parents who are elderly have been without electricity since the evening of the 30/08/2023. Ticket was logged and reference was received ***. I was told that the technicians will come out the next day. It is now the 01/09/2023 13:56 to be exact and no one has come out.

I sent an email yesterday 31/08/2023 to find out why no one has pitched, I then received a response from Jade Hawyn advising that their depots are inundated with active service request due to the recent weather and load shedding constraints. Sent yet another email today and no response was received.

My parents are elderly and reside in a dangerous area of Mitchell's Plain and for them to be in total darkness for this long is unbearable. Their food has gone off with the fridge and freezer being off. My mother injured herself whilst trying to get around the house in total darkness, they have no hot water and are unable to cook to sustain themselves due to no power.

Could you please please please do something about this.

Yes this is still the issue. They came out on Friday and switched it on after 16:00pm. After load shedding Friday night the power never came back on, I logged another fault report and received reference number: *** (Agents name: Anastasia). Saturday afternoon after 16:00pm they came out again and said the cable guys must come out. Until NOW no one has come out. I just called now again according to the lady who I spoke to said the issue has been resolved... How has it been resolved when the electricity is still off. She gave me a new reference number: *** and she said they will send someone out.

My parents have now been without electricity for 6 DAYS. I am in the process of submitting a claim

Good morning,

Unfortunately various depots in the City are inundated wit requests causing an abnormal delay outside of the service level agreement.

Thank you.
