“It’s been a whole year now with this open power box and we do not know what else to do. We have been to the Tsakane Customer Care Centre to report the matter more than once but we are not being attended to.
The scary part is that this power box is right next to the park and children from our area come here and some play there without supervision,” says Zondo.
The power box is right next to his house.
“On Tuesday, I heard screams because there was smoke coming out of the open box.
“I am afraid of what might happen because when it rains the water might go in the box and we might be without electricity,” he adds.
