Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - For over a month, a business in Uraniaville has been operating in near-total darkness, with nothing except promises from the Matlosana Municipality still keeping their doors open.
The ordeal for business owner Aldurette Booysen began on September 29. “Since the power cables were stolen here, we have been without electricity.”
For 36 days, what followed has been a case study in frustration. Booysen describes a futile cycle of communication: “After many reports, WhatsApp messages, phone calls, and conversations... only a few poles, holes on our property, and a piece of cable have shown up. Not a person in sight.”
