Reference number *** No Electricity - Bapong Sunnyside - Eskom Brits Postponed ******* Removal

Hello Peter Team,

Reference number ***

I am a paying Eskom customer in Bapong, Sunnyside.

I have been without electricity since yesterday evening , 08 September. I share a pole outside with two neighbours. We all lost power.

My neighbours called a private person this morning to fix for them. That person said the circuit breaker on the pole is burnt. He reconnected them. I am now the only one on that shared pole without electricity.

I logged a complaint with Eskom this morning as required.

I have previously requested: 1. Removal of ******* connections to be prioritised in Bapong, as the community has also sent a signed memorandum. 2. To have my own separate pole, as my prepaid units run out very quickly, possibly due to the shared / ******* load.

Eskom Brits had said they will come in the first week of September, which was last week. When I followed up with them yesterday morning, they said they have postponed as other important things came up and they will now only come towards month end.

Please can we have no more postponements going forward? The ******* connections are damaging our infrastructure - the pole breaker is now burnt because of the overload.

I am the only paying customer on this pole and I am being punished for following the legal process. Please assist Eskom to attend urgently.
