Take Power off Eskom!!!!

Today is marks 3 nights without electricity. 4 houses within my street have no electricity. I phone Eskom to log a call and was told that it will take a Technician 4-8 hours to respond to the call. We waited the next morning, 8 hours went by. We phoned to make a follow up and was told that Daveyton has a lot of reported faults and a Technician has not been assigned to our call. Night 2 went by. Today we made about 2-3 calls and the response is the same; no Technician has been assigned to this call. I was told that Technicians work from 8am-4pm, so unfortunately one has to wait until such time that a Technician is assigned.

I wonder how many of us are in the same position? I stay with elderly people, the nights are cold & one cannot even cook a decent meal because we're relying on 'Power'. First hand experience!!! I have always seen it happening but never really thought that i'd experience it.

South Africans are going through the most. We have people in 'power' who are so arrogant and inhuman. I cry for my beloved country. My elderly mother uttered the words 'apartheid was better, because the system cared about the wellbeing of its people'. The sadness in her face...
