She said, “Since then, the cables have been lying in the open trench totally exposed. The cables [could] get stolen or someone could be electrocuted.”
The matter was reported to Eskom, but no action has been taken to cover the exposed cables.
Garson claims she sent a query to Eskom as to why they have not filled the trench and covered the cables. Eskom allegedly responded and stated that they had a problem, but failed to say what the problem was.
Midrand Reporter contacted Eskom with regard to the issue three weeks ago, but no response has been received on the matter yet.
