Ref : 373336050
Pole: PESK41H2

The reference was closed on 30/01/2020 with no action. I have even reported this matter on the Eskom crime line more than 2months ago and still no reply or action from Eskom.

More people have now connected on my power line and as a result I haven't had electricty since yesterday. The pole which they have used is now bent due to the weather and could break and fall into my yard at any moment now. Further more people are now leaching on my power as my bill is now more than double.

Does someone need to get injured or killed before action is taken.

Every day at 4pm our electricity got cut off - not loadshedding. Its our complex (Preston buildng 101 Tennessee avenue and part of extension 2 in Cosmo city). This affecting our businesses and some of us are working from home.

Good evening

Since from last week Thursday, our electricity get cut off everyday at 4pm. This is affecting our businesses and some people are also working from home. It is ony in our complex (Preston builing - 101 Tennessee avenue) and part of extension 2 in Cosmo city.

Still awaiting feedback on reference number 371413307 - this was raised on the 04/09/2020 and today is the 09/09/2020. Please revert it is urgent .

There is no response on the customer Care line , neither on the online queries and SMS's. I have exhausted all avenues yet no one from Eskom responds.
Account Number 7315650948

I URGENTLY need feedback regarding my account .

Up to 44 power cuts per day. Up to 23 power surges per day. Power out for up to 18 hours per day. Over R250000 worth of damages caused to us by Eskom over the past 32 months at TWO different addresses where we have lived (on opposite sides of town). This includes loss of income, blown appliances, rotten meat and food in fridge and freezer etc etc. I finally got a reference number after 31 months of complaining and they promised over one sms to fix the problem in 72 hours - that was a lie (big surprise). They have answered their phone once in the last 32 months telling me that there cannot be a problem since I am the only one who has complained (calling me a liar). They ignore every single SMS that I send to them. They try to phone me sometimes but ONLY when the power is off so that I have no signal and therefore the phone cannot ring. The Eskom app does not work as it says my meter number is invalid. We are now completely destroyed by Eskom and have nothing left. They have even blown our computers so that we cannot run a business or apply for jobs. Please if any Attorney could take on our case probono or if anyone knows of the Ombudsman to report Eskom to please please help us. My Whatsapp number is 0835641891. Please can anyone help us, we are soooo hungry now and desperately need Eskom to pay us out for what they have done to us.

Your organization is highly incompetent and your customer care people don't know what they are doing except dish out endless reference numbers without any actual assistance being done or follow ups done to make sure that the logged call is completed and closed. If all they do is dish out endless useless reference numbers , utilise computers; you don't need people getting paid for NOTHING. Stop using lockdown as an excuse to close down offices and down tools. You need people at a physical office, so that we can drive there, speak to managers or supervisors (if they exist). You don't need to all stay at home and literally do nothing.

You are quick to disconnect remotely but are unable to connect remotely. Its now 3 days since you disconnected my electricity and in spite of the payment being done, my electricity has not been connected within 24 hours as you claim. My students have been unable to write their online exams for 3 days. All my food has gone off. I have spent 3 whole days on the customer care line where I've been met with gross incompetence and no help whatsoever.

Going through to a different customer care person is problematic .They overwrite the previous comments and generally stuff up everything and write absolute rubbish. Its best if one customer care person preferably the initial one who logs the call sees it through to completion and closure. We should be able to speak to managers or supervisors especially when no action is being done wrt your logged call.

Your service is atrocious and getting worse. you don't give a damn about inconveniencing people. You overcharge people shamelessly for electricity to make up for your trillions of debt!! I seriously think its time for privatisation and letting people who know what they are doing run the company. If only all of south Africa could go solar!!! I know I am definitely going that route.

Take these complaints and suggestions seriously. We are trying to help you by thinking for you. I also want compensation for all the spoilage and missed exams etc. and the 3 days of stress and inconvenience.

ESKOM......SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT!!!! ITS WAY PAST TIME

I have logged a call with their call centre on the 1st july, I did follow ups on numerous occassion and they always give different excuses all the time.on the 29th when i call for an update as they promise to send a technician, to my surprise the case was closed on the 3rd and I was not informed.They said I should take it up with North rand office as they are handling the case.The call centre agent can't give me the contact number or address for that specific office as she doesn't know johannesburg.Its shocking that the technicians are willing to help us if we contribute per household to pay them, but when you go through correct route they are busy with Audits.why do we have to suffer for the service we pay for, the electricity its expensive and we don't get value for money.how will our kids study online without electricity and how will we avoid getting flu using cold water.Its sad how we suffer because of corrupt people incharge, as its clear the only way out is to spend money that we don't have.No wonder the organisation always needs to be rescued all the time, cause people earn salaries and still want extra cash on the side.I don't think any member of the public will decide to temper with meter box, its the very same people that works for the company.
Is there any platform we can escalate the problems, as the call center its useless while you hold for almost 20minutes to be served.

On Monday, 20 July 2020, our transformer was stolen from the street pole. We have reported the case with Eskom on even date. We received an email stating that the Lanseria technicians are waiting for a transformer, but in the meanwhile, the case was closed on the system. We received 2 sms's stating the power was restored as per field staff and if there is no power, we have to report again. I have a total of 6 reference numbers, but no power. No water as we are staying on a small holding, relying on borehole water supply. We pay thousands of rands on capacity charges, but no service from Eskom!

We had a transformer stolen on 20 July 2020, a report was done and a reference number received. We received an email saying they are waiting for a transformer, but in the meanwhile the system shows the case being closed. We have reported numerous times since Monday, and each time the same message on the system. 2 Sms's were received, saying: "Dear Customer, Power should be restored as per field staff. If your power is not on, please report it again"
We stay on a small holding, relying on a borehole for water, but without electricity no water supply! I received 6 reference numbers on this matter, but no power. Eskom are quick to take your money for all capacity charges, but when it comes to service, Nothing, NADA, Niks!

Since from last week Monday my area dies not have electricity. This is the second week. I've logged more than 6 calls but nothing happened. The refs are being closed as electricity has been restored but no electricity. This is the second week now all house in my are does not have electricity. I have a child who uses nebulizer, how do I use it when no electricity. My area is Kaalfontein Ext 5 midrand. Eskom does not care about people. The problem the ward counsellor came on Sunday and said electricity will be restored latest Tuesday 22 July. Even today we still waiting. Eskom is rubbish they only know how to do fraud and robbing people. Taking money from people. Sk as a community we must buy them to come and fix electricity. We have been struggling with our transformer. When call them they dont come just close the calls. Even last year 2019 we had the same problem where the commended up striking closing roads. I guess they want the same thing.

We dont have electricity since yesterday we have been trying to phone you but with no respond till now , meter no: 04074134877 , this thing to phone you when ever we dont have electricity doesnt work because you dont answer the phone so its very useless and wasting our airtime

if you are going to do loadshedding I think this should be done equally amongst residents you cannot cut the power on 1 street and leave the other without power for days. we have been having this problem for months now same zone just few houses without power while the rest has power.

zone 6 meadowlands, please look into the issue and assist

We have been without power since last week Friday i called on Saturday and was given a ref number 356059181 i was told technicians would come on Wednesday the 17th June but we are still waiting and as paying customers it is really unfair what they are doing because it is like they are punishing us.

Good day,

We do not have power and it has been out since yesterday at 6pm. I tried calling you and I was on hold for too long.

This has been really frustrating.

As a resident of protea Glen and paying customer of eskom. I find it unfair when the refuse to assist restoring power and using lockdown regulations to do so. It's been three weeks without power in our Area due to blown transformer. Numerous attempts have been made to contact eskom but they still ignore us.

I am a soweto resident living in protea Glen. We have been without electricity for 3 weeks now. Eskom is refusing to send its technicians to fix the transfomer problem we have in the area. We have been told eskom does not work during lockdown regulations. As a paying customer it's really unfair for eskom to give us this bad service.

Good Day

Our electricity tripped around 16h00 on Sunday the 15th of March. I reported the fault and was given a reference no 348740354. Up to today, we still sitting in the dark. They came to check and asked for extra man power yesterday morning around 08h00, and additional technicians only arrived around 16h00, and could not restore our electricity. They left around 20h30, this means the whole day yesterday nothing was done and we have to suffer.

Please take us serious and restore our electricity urgently.
