@CityPowerJhb We need an update!!! @DadaMorero @CityPowerJhb @helenzille @SundayTimesZA @eNCA @ewnbreaking

Lines were supposedly repaired 5 hours ago. We still do not have any indications of when it will be switched on. Other places are prioritized. While we have been without power longer.

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb This is not true. The only reason for this amendment to the update is Cllr Belinda. None of the houses in Wynberg, Bramley and surrounding areas have power. It has been 4/5 full days without power. Fix this!!!! @CityofJoburgZA @DadaMorero @our

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb Respectfully. Fuck you guys!!!

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@Duchess9tails @CityPowerJhb It is honestly ridiculous. How incompetent are these guys? @CityofJoburgZA @DadaMorero

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb @eNCA , @Newzroom405 , @dailysunsa , @JackSekwaila , @DadaMorero

We have not had power since Monday 17 August 2026. Today is Friday 21 August. Both Bramley and Wynberg while these independent contractors are milking City Power with billable hours and no work done.

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb You have been "locating a fault" for 36 hours?

City Power is a useless entity. @CityofJoburgZA must do away with this company. Rather use @Eskom_SA directly. 36 Hours...no power. Food has gone bad. No tangible updates.
@Our_DA see what comrades @MYANC are doing. @eNCA

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb @CityPowerJhb has been requesting a "test branch team" since Monday 23 March.

4th day without electricity now. Joseph v City of Johannesburg, 2010 should be updated with fresh new litigation against City Power. This is ridiculous...you cannot be subjecting rate payers to this.

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb You guys are aware that we have not had power since Monday right? Like are you actually aware of that fact? No sense of urgency!!!

Second time this month...how can fixing a simple "cable fault" take this long?

@News24 @Powerfm987 @PublicSafetyMMC @SABCNews

Please intervene!

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb It is worth nothing that power was only restored a week ago.

From a 6 day "fault" and 1 day of "planned maintenance"

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@Duchess9tails @CityPowerJhb It has happened again. Contractors will Milk this entity try with temporary fixes so they continue coming to get more job cards.

@MTshwaku @Action4SA @City_Press

@CityPowerJhb is abusing rate payers. Power "faults" are now increasing in frequency

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb: The temporary backfeeding you did last week didn't work out. Wynberg, Bramley and other surroundings dont have power again. After 6 days of no power.

This is completely unacceptable.

@News24 @SABCNews @HellenZille @Powerfm987

There are people with infants...

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb Context for people at the back: We have not had power for 5 full days now.

No accountability. No sense of urgency. Nothing!!!

Yet all our accounts are up-to-date.

Thanks a lot @CityPowerJhb and those unscrupulous contractors who keep siphoning money for "faults" they create

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@@CityPowerJhb...Wynberg doesnt have power. Other places have power and we do not!!! Kindly advise

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb @Clint_Matos It is 18:03..
We do not have power in Wynberg...4th street

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb @News24 @eNCA @dailysunsa I did say I would return. My time is 16:03....and power is not back.

This is in Wynberg 4th - 6th streets

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb @News24 @eNCA @dailysunsa I will check in at 16:00 and I can almost guarantee you that power will not be restored.

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb It worth noting that power has been out since Wednesday morning.

And this has happened every month without fail since October 2025.

Event month power in Wynberg goes for days. And this is an industrial area with business.

@ewnupdates @SABCNews @powe

[uDarkie• @TheProfLayman]

@CityPowerJhb What about Wynberg? 4th to 6th street?
