ESKOM - 3rd consecutive day with no electricity

Hi All,

It's day three, we are still off, without electricity. As mentioned before, I am one of many in Penhill estate without electricity.

Electricity is a basic human right and I am not sure why ESKOM is ok to leave us without such a critical element of life itself .You are not just messing with our lights, it is our frozen food going off, our bath water and shower water that is cold, our oven and stove is off, so we can't cook, our microwaves are off so we can't heat up any food or even leftovers ,we have no power to charge laptops, no power to charge our phones and no power to charge our routers and those of us who are sick are not even by physical means to use the option of going to the office for work, yet we must sit in a dark and cold house during the coldest days we've had since in the last few year. We are right back where we were last year September, with power going off on the Tuesday and ESKOM sending messages that our problems are resolved and yet we are sitting in the dark, the dirt and the cold. This is not acceptable. We needed someone to have been here to switch on our power two days ago already.As matters stand now, we are using ESKOM at a pure loss. Yes - a loss of sleep as well as I am trying to figure out how I am going to do thiswith ESKOM's lack of care.
