THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! Why are you guys NOT SECURING THE BOX? Second time in 48 hours! Why don’t you guys have someone GUARDING THE BOX? Now9pm on a Fri day night, here we all sit once again in the dark! Wed night the same thing happened and it took 21 hours to repair?

BLAH BLAH BLAH!
So not good enough. This long email with absolutely no solution to their silly little R 2.00 fees! It just rubs me up the wrong way! Stealing money for non FNB eft transactions?! Money grabbers!
Let’s hope it’s not a long drawn out process! I do not understand why the substation “tripped” but it just should NOT HAPPEN! @CityofJoburgZA nothing world class about JHB! It will never be world-class sadly! Not until things like electricity and water are stabilized.

@CityofJoburgZA this world class African city you refer to has now left us without power going 12 hours! NOTHING WORLD CLASS ABOUT JOHBURG! @CityPowerJhb it’s a DISGRACE! My mother relies on oxygen and hasn’t had any oxygen since 11pm last night! SHAME ON YOU JOHBURG!
@CityPowerJhb power is off again in Bramley. I believe it’s all around too.
Please can you let us know what the issue is and why this is happening and when we will have power ?
It’s beyond ridiculous. My Mom relies on OXYGEN to breath! NO POWER, NO OXYGEN! And yet, we still pay!

Plant poachers - paid by criminal syndicates - are wiping out our rare succulent species, creating huge demand for the plants in Europe, the US and especially East Asia, via social media.
They take “this super strange looking thing that comes from Africa”, and name it Hot Lips or Fire Dragon..”
This snippet of a BBC doccie is alarming and infuriating.
And still no power!!

@CityofJoburgZA so NOT a world class African city! No power since 9 am, inverters run out and now my Mother is struggling to breath! Why? Because @CityPowerJhb have not restored power when they were supposed to! ETR was 16.00 then 16.30… it’s now 17.35 and STILL NO POWER! 🤬

So my delivery arrived today. Took 8 days @wendyknowler @Makro_SA have no explanation for the delay? The app said order would be delivered on the 2 August. In the interim I had to buy from other retailers while waiting for my order! I think I am done with @Makro_SA @MassmartSA
@Discovery_SA this is absolutely ridiculous!
We requested PMB for an 85 year old lady to manage her pain with a registered physiotherapist on your network (said physio did all YOUR tests etc to be ON YOUR LIST) we have been denied any assistance for my 85 year old mom! This 👇🏾

When I suggested that @Discovery_SA “grow” with their clients that they maybe add benefits for aging clients! Like pain management etc because NO 85 year old needs maternity benefits! EVERYONE GETS OLD! But not EVERY WOMAN GETS PREGNANT!! @wendyknowler @Radio702 @Health24com
