@CityPowerJhb @eNCA @Abramjee @SABCNews @CityPowerJhb THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE NO POWER FOR THREE DAYS EVERY SECOND DAY. WE ARE OFFICIALLY GATVOL

[Derisha Pillay @DerishaPillay]

@CityPowerJhb Honeypark off for three days????.?.

[Derisha Pillay @DerishaPillay]

@Mulalo52387402 @CityPowerJhb Haaai guys.

[Derisha Pillay @DerishaPillay]

@CityPowerJhb Honeydew Honeypark. 48 hours+ Every third day, we are without power for an average of three hours. My pet lizard has died because of this......😑Edit my sarcasm hoping this lie brings some truth to your feedback!!

[Derisha Pillay @DerishaPillay]

@CityPowerJhb @FlowerFaya Please PLEASE CP. Please! Can we get power back before the 16h00 loadshedding? We don't even know what the fault is for Honeypark Block 11

[Derisha Pillay @DerishaPillay]

@MotsGR @CityPowerJhb Yes!!! And I have been advocating for Honeypark residents to TAKE TO THE STREETS AND GO TO ROODEPOORT SDC.

[Derisha Pillay @DerishaPillay]

@MotsGR @CityPowerJhb @CityofJoburgZA Can we get an update on HoneyPark? Block 11? Power off since 19h20 yesterday 12 November? Please? We had power restored four times last night for a few seconds only to go off...surely your team was working on this?

[Derisha Pillay @DerishaPillay]

@xenialuff @CityPowerJhb Power went off in Honeydew Honeypark just went the weather changed, suspect lighting as cause of power outage. Block 11. Please please please escalate please @CityPowerJhb

It also seems like we are moved from different distributors every time, between the Ruimsig SWS and Clover Rd distributors. It is really confusing.

What will be done to resolve the weekly outage issue in these areas, because these areas are targeted every 2nd/3rd day for unplanned outages, while other areas have power?

We don't have to resort to blocking the streets before our pleas for assistance are heard, it is not proper to do so.

Your assistance in escalating this will be greatly appreciated.

As I type at 3.00pm, the power is still out, and there isn't loadshedding, but we are without electricity. City Power causes us more harm than good, because when Eskom is not loadshedding, outages occur and City Power takes forever to restore. Residents are tired and angry!

Other areas in the same parts of Honeydew (Block 11) have their lights on, but for us in these areas, even when we’re meant to get a reprieve from the lower LS stages, our power is always out. Today at 11.30am, I logged my 42nd call for the year for an unplanned outage.

TREND OF POWER OUTAGES ON THURSDAYS, FRIDAYS AND WHEN THERE IS NO PLANNED LOADSHEDDING IN THE AREA:To pay for power religiously every single month, and not have power for even half of the month is treacherous, and as a resident, I feel robbed. I hope you can empathise here.

It seems like a deliberate ploy to keep the lights out on certain days and at certain times, to necessitate a call out for contractors to get work. It’s unclear why the same issues arise, but the root causes are the same. This is something we need you to look into PLEASE.

LONG TURNAROUND TIMES FOR RESTORATION: Communication from City Power's social media team on restoration efforts are lack luster. But most importantly, it often takes days to restore power back to these areas. Not clear why this is, but based on trends, it seems deliberate.

Outages in this area are weekly, sometimes every 2nd or 3rd day, and sometimes it is cable theft and other times, it is distributors tripping on earth fault. The root causes are the same, and the restoration efforts are band aided and are not permanent, as same issues occur.

1. INCESSANT POWER OUTAGES: This year alone, I have logged 42 calls for unplanned power outages in this area- either due to it not being restored after loadshedding or just random outages. This is an average of 4 calls monthly

[Derisha Pillay @DerishaPillay]

Power just went out on Glover Road Block 11 Honeypark @CityPowerJhb FYI. I will log a call and post reference. Please note the time of this post because we all know how this plays out. 01h22
