Greetings, Fellow Residents,
In light of the recent and ongoing power outages at the Sefokabolea Substation in Palmridge, the urgency for Sky City to have its own dedicated electricity substation has never been greater.
An initiative has now been launched to petition the Gauteng Provincial Government and Premier Panyaza Lesufi to provide Sky City with an independent and reliable electricity supply through our own substation.
It is evident that the City of Ekurhuleni lacks the capacity to provide reliable electricity to the rapidly growing Sky City housing development, especially when relying on a substation that remains unsecured and vulnerable to frequent vandalism.
The electricity disruptions we continue to endure are not new. They have plagued us since the early days of Sky City's development.
We can no longer accept being subjected to unreliable and intermittent power supply.
Enough is enough. We deserve better.
Our community deserves a solution that ensures consistent and uninterrupted electricity.
The only viable solution is for Sky City to be relocated from the current shared substation and connected to our own dedicated electricity infrastructure.
We urge you, fellow residents, to support this demand by signing the petition.
Together, our voices can make a difference.
VOLUNTEERS:
We kindly appeal for volunteers who are willing to assist with collecting signatures for the petition.
If you're able to help, please print out the petition form and begin gathering signatures from fellow residents.
Arrangements will be made to collect the signed forms from all volunteers in due course.
Thank you for your support!

I can not continue living like I'm living in a squat camp while I pay so much bond along with tax and rate every month , sharing substation with people who don't pay a cent to municipality, vandalize substation when they feel to to so, enough is enough.
We asking for our own substation to have reliable electricity as we pay for services we can't be linked with people that doesn't pay for electricity and they even vandalized our very own infrastructure after recent activities we had enough of this can our plea be heard
With the ever increasing rates and taxes and the increasing bond amount we pay..including the ever increasing newly built houses we can't be under the same sub station with many old townships...theres a lot of izinyoka happening there and it's unfair to us paying citizens
We pay for our electricity—it's time we had control over it. Our community deserves its own dedicated substation, not a forced connection to Greenfield. Reliable power, future growth, and respect for our investment it’s what we’re owed. ⚡✊
It goes without saying the community is getting Bigger and the Load harder to manage. With all the Power cuts Sky City Needs its own dedicated Substation to handle on the Newer developments. This is no longer just a desire but a NECESSITY
That will bring a relief and save us much from this suffering
Its about time

Sky city, Milano and the Bronx need their own substation, the incident that happened recently left the resident devastated and we had a great loss financially, sefokabolea substation is overloaded and is not protected as people can go and vandalize at any time.
