Much has been written and discussed around the frustrating issue of power cuts that citizens are forced to endure.
I’ll add my two bits worth just for the sake of this once beautiful town in which I was born and raised. The daily burden of punishing electricity cuts the country’s citizens face is insanely out of control.
To interrupt power supply to undertake urgent maintenance is, of course, acceptable. But to continue unabated on a daily basis and leave people without power three to four times daily is hugely damaging to our economy.
From the time loadshedding began, damaged parts could have been replaced and new power stations built.
In Stanger especially I feel we are being treated very unfairly with up to eight hours of blackouts on certain days. Whys is this so?
Places close by such as Ntshawini, Thembeni, Shakaskraal and Tongaat experience minimal loadshedding.
The mayor as the first citizen must intervene on our behalf for the sake of Stanger’s economy.
The electorate must wisen up and replace the current rulers with honest, intelligent, diligent and hardworking people who have the country’s best interest at heart.
