In Daveyton Extension 2, every day is a struggle due to persistent and burdensome load reductions. Our once lively and thriving community now faces daily disruptions, threatening not just our comfort but our well-being. Imagine waking up every day unsure if you will have the basic privilege of electricity—a service that others in nearby areas enjoy without interruption. This is not just inconvenient; it's a matter of fairness and equality.

The situation is even more disheartening when we realize that other parts of Extension 2 have already been relieved of this burden. So why are we still suffering? Our community feels neglected and voiceless, and this persistent issue is leading to a decline in the quality of life, hindering productivity for local businesses and students.

Current load reductions mean our children cannot study after sunset, missing online classes and lagging behind in their education. Small business owners are struggling to keep their operations afloat, leading to potential job losses and economic stagnation. Households are left in the dark both literally and figuratively, as we lack information about when these problems will be resolved.

We need immediate intervention from our local authorities and Eskom to address this discrepancy. We demand an urgent review and overhaul of the current energy distribution in our area, ensuring that each section within Daveyton Extension 2 receives an equitable and reliable supply.

Now is the time for action. We believe that everyone deserves the right to live without constant power interruptions. Let's stand together and make our voices heard, calling for a future where energy is a basic right for all.

We urge you to sign this petition to help restore fairness and equity in Daveyton Extension 2. Only through united action can we hope to bring about lasting change for our community.

We call for the immediate cessation of load reduction in Extension 2. The continued electricity interruptions are placing an unfair burden on residents, disrupting households, businesses, safety, and daily life. The authorities must provide Extension 2 with a fair and reliable electricity supply and to review the justification and criteria for imposing load reduction in our community. We buy electricity.

Ext2 is a quiet place this make us easy targets to criminals.Our kids cannot study,it damages our appliances.The fact that I spend more on buying electricity than my needs pisses me off when I wake up without it.We are taken advantage while other areas with more than 6 tenants are enjoying no power cut fraudulently.Must we join those who fight burn tryres before you realize that we do matter?

Eskom seems to have this power outage only in ext. 2 in Daveyton. This has become a serious matter and a resolution is needed urgently.

The impact is severe, waking up in the early morning without lights it's life threatening and unsafe hence Eskom needs to alert us and why it's only that section? not others....
