Kaak service for the Clearwater Estate

<p>I've recently moved to Clearwater Estate. In the month that i've been there, I've never had electricity over the week-end. We always get stories of how there was cable theft and it takes more than 2 days to fix the cable. The cable gets fixed but there are no measures put in place so that the same thing doesn't happen again. Instead we get hit by cable theft again. We haven't had electricity since Friday 03 December 2016. Our stuff in the fridge are getting wrotten and nobody seems to give a damn about that. We got told that the overhead power cable fell 2 weeks ago due to the pole falling after the heavy storm. They put Jackaroo park and clearwater on the underground power supply. When one of the residents enquired about the overheard power cable being fixed, she was told, it's not a priority. The residents are striking at the Old Middelburg road as we speak because we are gatvol of the poor service we are getting. On top of that we are charged R2100 for electricity, for what, when there's never electricity. How on earth do you have a standard fee for electricity when we don't use the same amount of electricity? So those of us that save electricity end up paying for the ones who abuse electricity? I think the public protector needs to intervene because it makes no sense for people to pay the same amount for electricity. We are made to feel as if we owe the municipality something when they infact owe us a service, a service they are failing dismally. Theo Van Vuuren is not doing his job at all. We want a solution as paying citizens. We shouldn't have to fight for a service we pay for.</p>
