@CityPowerJhb Power just returned in Willowbrook. What ever you did... step away from the substation and don’t touch anything!!! 😂😂😂

@CityPowerJhb And Willowbrook / Amarosa?

firstly thanks for telling us what we have know for the last 8 hours.

Secondly... a resident has video of the kloofendal substation. No one is there.

So please stop tweeting the same old rubbish you have been for hours and tell us the truth.

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@CityPowerJhb And Willowbrook / Ruimsig?

No techs in sight anywhere and it’s been off for 12 hours.

A resident he just taken video footage of the kloofendal substation.

No one is there. When are you actually going to send technicians out?

Truth this time please.

@kaysexwale @CityPowerJhb @Eskom_SA We have had a total of 10 full days out of the last three weeks with no power at all and two fridge loads of food in a month thrown away in many cases.

Two periods of 5 consecutive days of no power at all. That’s almost 95 hours in a single stretch with no power. Twice.

@lunchbox_deeds @LeahK28 And then because i pointed out her tweets did not correspond to the truth on the ground she blocked me on Twitter. Constructive approach to solving the issue.

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@lunchbox_deeds @LeahK28 Leah is an elected ward counselor.
We replace her by voting for someone else.

My autocorrect had it as electrocuted ward counselor but without power that would have been a blatant lie!!! 😂😂😂

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@LeahK28 If they are still busy replacing the faulty cable.... how on earth did they switch on power for 10 minutes earlier only to have it tripped again? Gather they are still trying to figure out if the faulty cable will stay on then 😂😂

None of these tweets match what is happening.

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@LeahK28 Apparently techs are onsite according to my ticket with city power bit residents confirmed they left.

I’m just waiting for my ticket to be closed while we still don’t have power. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@LeahK28 @DarrenNaicker3 Leandre... I all lies to keep up quiet so just smile and carry on 😂

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@LeahK28 Please can we have some truth as what you are telling us and why is happening on the ground is completely opposite.

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@LeahK28 What’s actually scares me more is that you don’t even actually know when the power is on and when it isn’t!!! Maybe get an umbrella and stand outside our complex and see for yourself.

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@LeahK28 It didn’t trip this morning. It tripped last night after only 20 minutes.

Does anyone actually have the truth about what is actually going on?

Power is turned on... you all bugger off home... an then tell us I tripped in the morning when it tripped just after leaving!!!

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@CityPowerJhb Keep logging Calle till these morons fix it

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@CityPowerJhb City power. All the light between van der Kloof and that theft sight are on but not us.

So to have not even started to loom at the 1 block of van der Kloof that is off.

You are completely and utterly useless as a power utility.

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@iintombizamaZiz @CityPowerJhb @LeahK28 Absolutely zip. They are all sleeping warm this morning and don’t give a hoot about us. Do you honestly think there is a single person in the city or Joburg or any of our ward counselors anywhere that car if you starve to death? Once you put your X they don’t have to work for

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@CityPowerJhb It’s pointless tweet at @LeahK28

Power was never this bad until the current mob that has been running Joburg for the last three years took over.

They are so busy infighting they can’t even keep our lights on.

Maybe a new mayor can fix this mess.

[Doug Newman @NewmanDoug]

@LeahK28 I’ll start.
