@supersonicfibre Hi. We've not had internet since 9am in Glen Austin. We work from home and it's crucial for the fibre to be working. What is the problem?

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA PLEASE! We've been through hell for weeks upon weeks in Pitzer Road, Glen Austin, and this week, it's been days without supply! Today again, no power since 10 am! How is one supposed to live? Especially when oxygen is needed!!!

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA 4th week in a row where paying customers in Glen Austin, Pitzer St. sit without power. Your technicians have failed to reconnect our neighbour since December! Yesterday, your technicians fiddled with 2 boxes and now we've been in the dark for 20 hours!!!!! How????

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA Glen Austin, Midrand, all of it, President Park, have been without power since 1pm. No notices, no ETAs, no communication whatsoever!

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA What a joke Eskom! We just got power back last night after 27 hours without, and 17 hours without last week, and once again, today, Glen Austin is in the dark! What circus is this???????

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA 20 hours without power! 3 attempts yesterday. . .all unsuccessful. You're going to pay for all our food????? GLEN AUSTIN is a disaster! Every. Single. Day. Outages are out of control!

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA PLEASE update for Glen Austin, Midrand. We've NO power since midnight. Returned for 30 minutes & down again. It's now 5:30pm, and we have no updates and no power. Alfred the bot does not allow fault reporting as logs from neighbours 2 weeks ago have NOT been cleared.

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@WOOLWORTHS_SA Woolies, please. I ask with tears in my eyes; fix your app. It's honestly THE worst, the slowest, most infuriating app in existence, and it seems to worsen daily.

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA Strange, because we are ONCE AGAIN without power! Why do I conscientiously pay my bill on time every single month? Please tell me. There are no more words for this level of incompetence!

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA Stages would count if we ACTUALLY had power after loadshedding. But, no. It continues to the next slot. Hours upon hours in the dark. 😡

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

Again, day after day!!! STILL not turned back on. Some people need to be on oxygen 16 hours a day. This is ridiculous. Other areas have STILL NOT HAD ANY POWER CUTS today. How??????? How does loadshedding work? Anyone at Eskom know?!!!!!!!

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA 3rd message. NOT ONLY have we been off 3 times today, we still haven't been turned back on!!! Are we living in the stone age?????

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA BALANCED???? 3rd time we've had loadshedding today, yet friends and family members have NOT HAD 1 CUT. Who is being purposely idiotic?!

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA Please tell me how you figure loadshedding out. We've now had it for the 3rd time today, 2 x4.5 hours and 1x 2.5 hours. Yet, family members have had NOT 1 power cut today. How? Why? Does anyone know what they're doing???

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@WOOLWORTHS_SA Thank you for your reply, but it's honestly pointless. Every time I order, there's a problem. This week, instead of ham, I was sent chicken. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm at a loss for words. I'm tired of phoning, requesting refunds, and tired of not receiving bread. How is there no bread? Crazy.

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@WOOLWORTHS_SA I love Woolies, but the Dash side of it needs a serious adjustment. Who on God's green earth puts chocolates with a *piping hot rotisserie chicken*? I received melted mush. How hard can it be? Is common sense non-existent? More often than not, there's a problem.

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA We're honestly so sick and tired of being without power every single time it rains in Glen Austin, Midrand. Why does this keep happening? Does no one know how to fix this irritating problem properly? 😒 Enough is enough!

@Eskom_SA It has now been 35 hours without electricity! So much for the 'maintenance' done last week. We've been off since Sunday in Pitzer Road, Glen Austin. Faults upon faults have been logged!

[Sandra Valente @BookWormSans]

@Eskom_SA Pitzer Road, Glen Austin has been without power since 10:45pm last night. We're still without power...11 hours.
