@CityPowerJhb Our power has been out since 6am - do you really have no information whatsoever after 16 hours on the coldest night of the year? and its due to go off at 8am again.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb @Jessica93325583 Can we have an update please? 6 hours now without any explanation

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb @CityPowerJhb no update on this??

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb Elton Hill in block 9 has been off almost 2 hours unscheduled. what's happening?

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb @CityPowerJhb So many people have logged calls now for block 9 - can you not at least give us an update?

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@AMorbidPodcast For what it’s worth, as a South African fan, Cilliers is actually pronounced “silliers” - it looks French because it originates from the French Huguenot population that settled in South Africa in the 17th century https://t.co/v1aBOHQoZV,)%2C%20Lange%2C%20le%20Roux%2C

@CityPowerJhb @michell12906210 I meant 4 hours not 5 hours, but ridiculous just the same.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb @michell12906210 @CityPowerJhb what is happening? It’s getting close to 5 hours no power, with no updates, and we’re due for loadshedding at midnight. Please at least give us some idea of what is wrong.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@j_moritz123 @CityPowerJhb @CityPowerJhb please can we have an update on this. Multiple people have reported it and logged calls and we haven’t heard anything.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb @dev_calvin @CityPowerJhb Please can we have an update on this? It’s approaching 3 hours without power - unscheduled - and we don’t even know what the issue is.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@behonesstt @CityPowerJhb @Hannah00606000 No - it just went off, not scheduled

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb How well is work progressing in the 2 hours since you posted this?

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb Any update on this?? It’s been an hour and a half and we don’t know what they safety concerns are or what is happening.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@jankes_matthew @CityPowerJhb I think this is block 1 - what is happening with block 9??

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@jankes_matthew @CityPowerJhb I don’t think so 😫

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb @shaaibaby But this isn’t the first mention of this or the first call reference number. It’s been out over 5.5 hours now.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb @MariamRaja9 Why do you apologise here and say you will escalate but won’t respond to anything about block 9 that has been out since before loadshedding started at 2?

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb I am not able to log a call, but in any case other people have logged calls and asked about this multiple times in the last 2 hours with no reply.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb what is happening in Block 9? No power in Elton hill or surrounding area, went off 20 mins before loadshedding was due to start and still not back and you aren’t responding to anyone about this.

[Kate van Niekerk @omykateness]

@CityPowerJhb @liisachisala No, other parts of block 9 came back at 4. Also not back in Elton hill, and it went off 20 minutes early.
