Thapelo Wesi, via email - I am writing to raise a serious and long-standing concern that has affected our community in Kanana for years, and continues to this day without proper resolution. I live in MoholoBela Street, Kanana, where our section of the street constantly experiences power outages while the opposite side has electricity. Eskom teams occasionally come out, and the power returns for a few hours, but as soon as they leave, we are back to square one - total darkness again.
We are now on the third day without electricity, and this has become a daily struggle for many residents, including workers, students, and families. The situation is damaging our appliances due to unstable power returns and constant outages. What’s most frustrating is the complete lack of communication and transparency from Eskom or the responsible officials.
It is starting to feel like neglect or corruption, because this problem affects only one side of the same street, yet it has persisted for years with no lasting solution. We have reported it many times, but nothing permanent is ever done.
We are appealing to you to please investigate this matter and help us expose what is happening. Our community deserves answers and accountability from Eskom and the authorities responsible for service delivery in Kanana.
