@Eskom_SA, it’s been 2 days without power in Protea Glen Ext 2, I have reported a no supply fault with ref 995239259. The updates have not been progressive, I am just being told that you guys are aware of the fault. Please attend to this. Thanks.
It becomes important to deepen and optimise intra-African collaboration and expertise as we tackle cross cutting threats such as global climate change and food insecurity. @NRF_News sets up important platforms to make this a possibility!

It’s really upsetting, 5 days without water in Protea Glen and quite appalling comms from @JHBWater, then suddenly we’re plunged into load reduction for the evening - that’s no power from 17h00 to 22h00 on a dry Saturday evening, thanks @Eskom_SA 🫠! What a mess!
