We are experiencing a serious electricity outage in Magatle, Limpopo. Our community has now gone 7 days without electricity, and there has been no communication or clear information provided to residents about what is happening or when power will be restored. This situation is extremely concerning because many elderly residents live alone and depend on electricity for their daily needs, including cooking, lighting, and in some cases medical equipment. Living without electricity for this long is not only inconvenient but dangerous and inhumane. The community has reported the outage multiple times, yet there has been no response or visible action from the responsible authorities. We urgently request that this matter be treated as an emergency and that immediate steps be taken to: Provide clear communication on the cause of the outage. Send technicians to restore electricity as soon as possible. Prioritise vulnerable residents such as the elderly. We ask the relevant authorities to intervene immediately and resolve this crisis affecting the residents of Magatle. Community of Magatle, Limpopo
