Can't rely on Eskom

<p>We had cable's ****** from the pole that feeds electricity to my house on the evening of the 23rd of December 2016.</p> <p>We tried contacting the call centre the whole on the 24th but no answer.</p> <p>We eventually got an sms after sending an sms to the sms line saying that a technician was on his way.</p> <p>I got a call from the technician at about 2 pm and i directed him to the house as i was not home at the time.</p> <p>We received another sms saying power was restored.</p> <p>When i got home there was still no cable and still no power.</p> <p>I went to the branch in Petit and was given the number for the branch manager. After numerous attempts i could not get hold of him. </p> <p>I got hold of his right hand man and i was told their technicians don't get paid overtime they can't help me.</p>
