@CityTshwane Start with why we have no water all day long. The move on to the perpetual issue of power .
English
@CityTshwane Good Morning. Seems some streets in Faerie Glen and Olympus are without power again due to issues at the new Wapadrand sub? Please provide feedback . Ward councillors have raised the matter already.
English
@AASouthAfrica Cancelled the Warranty policy but now you’ve sent a welcome pack for the same policy. Cannot reach Warranty dept on any number. No one else willing to help except transfer to numbers that no one answers. I’ve had to waste time on a thing that should not be an issue

@nasiphim Dear @nasiphim residents still in the dark since yesterday 5pm due to faults at Koedoeberg & Wapadrand . Why is it that the City a) cannot seem to get it right and b) can only manage to get it right a few days after the fault occurred , and then only for a few days of supply ?

Hi @CityTshwane what is happening with Koedoeberg? This is repeat of what’s already happened in the area multiple times in January ALONE? Surely it is a faster fix than the tree that fell on Wapadrand acc to councillor feedback ? Why are you punishing residents of this community?
Heckidy@heckidy
@CityTshwane what is happening with Koedoeberg, Mooikloof, Wapadrand this morning ? Known issue since early last night. I do not have references. What is the status on each of these as of 10h50 and what priorities are assigned to each. What is in progress ? What is next in line ?

@CityTshwane Nope. Still in the dark in parts of Olympus. It’s a known issue we should not be having to report this.
English
#NjalaSubstation - all consumers switched back. If you are still experiencing a power outage please report it so that technicians can investigate.
English
@CityTshwane @Eskom_SA Thanks for the update. @Eskom_SA Sooner or later though, is it not possible that the City’s infra will create risk for yours ? Is it a not good idea to be a partner in stabilizing the City’s supply over the medium term at least ?Consumers pay a lot for what you supply.
English
City of Tshwane and @Eskom_SA technicians are investigating the fault at the #NjalaSubstation. The outage is widespread. Power will be restored in phases once it is safe to do so.
English
@Eskom_SA what is happening with power supply to Pretoria this evening? As we all have been made repeatedly aware, the City is already in a supply crisis . Please provide feedback and resolution plan asap. @CityTshwane
English
@CityTshwane When are the remaining affected streets to be restored in Olympus? You have the same problems multiple times a month and in this case within 10 days. Do not ask for a reference number - go to your teams & look . Hard to be positive when the City gets worse year on year.
English
A beautiful week, begins with a positive mindset.
Good morning beautiful people of Tshwane! 🤗
English
@CityTshwane Still nothing in Olympus / Faerie Glen . From 8pm last night .. no attention given overnight. This after 7-8 days last week . #wapadrand Yet Again . This about 5 or more years since the new one started rebuild ?
English
#PowerUpdate: Soshanguve IA Substation
Power supply has been restored.💡
English
@CityTshwane @WynMad You should already know about this . Why no monitoring .. it was out for approx 8 days as of early hours of Friday 16th Jan .
English
@WynMad Good evening, to report power outages, kindly contact our customer care centre on 012 358 9999 or SMS the word “power” followed by the account number to 082 612 0333 or 44676. Or follow link powerfailure.tshwane.gov.za/Tshwanesms/New…

Power off in Olympus Pretoria, as well as most surrounding areas like Fairy Glen, Koedoes berg ect. Please rectify and help @CityTshwane
English
@CityTshwane Olympus /Faerie Glen … didn’t quite make it 48hrs after 8 days ..here we are again. A moderate summer storm seems to defeat the system. What is your short/ medium term plan to fix this mess ? #PowerOutage.
English
@CityTshwane The areas that came back a couple hours ago, after 7 days, is out again.
English
#PowerUpdate: Koedoeberg Substation.
The first cable repair has been completed, and the System Operations team has been notified to conduct testing and attempt to restore supply to some customers.
City of Tshwane@CityTshwane
Koedoeberg Substation outage: (Affecting Faerie Glen, Boardwalk Meander and Olympus)
English
@CityTshwane Olympus again … day 8 tomorrow. 5th trip. #Koedoeberg There are no more excuses that anyone can bear to hear. Everytime you patch one exploded cable section, another one goes. Do you still think this patchwork approach is working ?
