@Eskom_SA It is now 24 hours and no power. Seems strange you can restore power in storm ravaged Cape Town, but in sunny Sandton you struggle. How about the courtesy of an ETR? Are the technicians paid by the hour?

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA @Eskom_SA when can we at least expect feedback, 22 hours no power.

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA @Eskom_SA Outage now 20 hours

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA @Eskom_SA Outage now 19 hours

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA Still no power in Strathavon/Sandown. What is ETR? So far 18 hour outage.

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA This is a very regular occurrence. Why?

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA Except in Sandton, where the power has been out for 33 hours.

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA No power still, what is ETR?

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA @Eskom_SA an update on the 28 hour outage please.

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@JHBWater @JHBWater for the sake of transparency, please elaborate on the "technical challenges" and please disclose how many customers are being affected in the area? Would you say roughly 50,000 to 100,000?

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@JHBWater @JHBWater 3 days of no water in Sandton

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@JHBWater Dearest @JHBWater please advise of the status update of the Illovo Reservoir, it would be so appreciated to get a response.

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@JHBWater Here is a clue: go to South Road and see the burst pipe pouring thousands of rands away by the hour outside the Rivers Church.

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@JHBWater Still no water in Sandton, when is the ETA?

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@JHBWater Any update from 7 hours ago?

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@JHBWater ETA for restoration?

[Gregory Whittaker @expertactuary]

@Eskom_SA Except @Eskom no power in Strathavon since 10pm last night. Estimated restoration time of this regular occurrence?
