NO SERVICE

NO SERVICE We stay on a farm and this is the third time this year that we have no electricity for more than 24 to 48 hours. On Wednesday electricity went of at 5pm . Everybody in the area phoned and reported. At 8.30pm I phoned again and they said no fault was reported. Thursday morning we phoned again. Everybody in the area. Now its Friday morning 6.30 guess what? NO ELECTRICITY! It is as we all know very dangerous on a farm. So no safety meganisms are working. If we have no electricity it means no water for us. It seems that eskom is very reluctant about this. Before we start paying for usage we owe more than R2500 per month for line fees. Line maintenance fees. Availability fees and the hell knows what else. So where does that fees go if the lines are not maintained. Also to golden handshakes??? They cant give you a contact number of the field staff. So you are entirely in the hands of a call centre?
