Eskom , can they get any worse???

2 weeks ago I wrote a review about Eskom not keeping to their load shedding schedule. Since then things have just got worse. Obviously Eskom did not respond to my Hellopeter review but their load shedding got much worse. What I am referring to below are the times Eskom did adhere to their own schedule On Tuesday last week we went off at 08:00 as per shedule but did not come on until 15:30 only to go off at 16:00. On Wednesday we went off at 14:00 and only came on at 19:30 only to go off again at 22:00.

Everybody in the area complained either by phone APP or Alfred but on all of them you do not speak to a person.

Eskom did eventually get back to us advising us that we are turned off automatically but the switch to turn us off was broken and would take about 3 months to repair. Until then we must rely on a technician who is not always in the area. So we n\must just basically wait until he has the time to turn us on..

We are not a big area and come directly under Eskom., no municipalities involved. One would think that if Eskom could not turn us on, they would not turn us off, but no , although there is no industry in pour area we must just wait for the Eskom technician to find the time.

I wonder if it goes deeper. We are now DA area and the ANC wants us back as I think we are the only DA municipality in KZN. Maybe it is more than just a technician.

And still no explanation as to why our tariff from Eskom is more than the local municipality. I thought the municipality added a profit to their electricity account, but no Eskom charges its own customers more.
