@CityPowerJhb I had a feeling Rabie Ridge would be next the moment Ext. 4 was left without power for days. Y’all are too predictable 😂
Anyway, what’s the update with #RabieRidge ext 1?

@CityPowerJhb What is the reason Rabie Ridge Extensions 1 and 2 consistently experience more unplanned outages than surrounding City Power areas? Residents deserve transparency on whether this is due to infrastructure failure, capacity issues, or poor maintenance.

@CityPowerJhb What exactly was achieved with the recent emergency maintenance in Rabie Ridge? Residents were told it was to prevent a total blackout, yet the area is once again without electricity. This is unacceptable. We need clear communication and a concrete restoration timeline.

@CityPowerJhb @CityPowerJhb , are you saying you only have one team and that Rabie Ridge will only be attended to once work at Westfield is completed? Does this mean other affected areas are not a priority?

@CityPowerJhb Three full days to test and repair a cable, plus an “if all goes well”? That shows a clear lack of respect for customers.

@CityPowerJhb This is unacceptable. Tracing and repairing a cable fault should not take over 12 hours. Please share pictures as proof that the team is on site, as you do in other areas.
I bet you won’t because you are just feeding us with lies.
