This is a formal complaint against the municipality regarding the ongoing electricity outage in our area, which has now lasted five days. On Friday, 19 September 2025, at approximately 07:30, the electricity box on the street pole caught fire. The fire department assisted in extinguishing the flames, after which we contacted the electricity department the same day (reference numbers: 9120842446 and 1022625462). Technicians arrived after 16:00 to assess the damage but left without restoring power. On Saturday, 20 September 2025, they returned at 15:00 and replaced the damaged electricity box. However, we were advised that power would only be restored on Monday, 22 September 2025. Since then, no updates have been provided, and we remain without electricity. Despite numerous follow-up calls, the only feedback received from call centre agents is that the matter has been escalated to the depot, but they are unable to confirm any progress. On 24 September 2025, I spoke with Khanyisa (reference: 9120872205), who informed me that, according to their system, electricity was restored on 20 September—which is incorrect. She further indicated that she escalated the issue to her manager, who was meant to engage with the Electricity Department’s superintendent and call me back. I have yet to receive any response. As of today, the entire street remains without electricity. This situation is unacceptable. Residents are working from home and have been severely impacted, while the lack of street lighting has increased the risk of break-ins and compromised safety at night. We urgently request immediate intervention to resolve this matter without further delay.
I requested a sim swap from rain a month ago and I was advised a call centre agent would contact me however nobody got in touch with me. I then sent rain a DM on Facebook today (27/11/2024) and they called me within a few minutes. The call was however silent and the agent only spoke to me after 6 minutes from holding. I refused to confirm his name and kept on speaking over me. I think he said his name was Lungelo from the social media dept. but he refused to confirm his name. He refuses to assist me and I've been on this call for over 48minutes while I can hear him chatting to his colleagues. I find this treatment unacceptable as I do pay for the services. I haven't been assisted with my sim swap query. This treatment is unfair and I demand an apology and an immediate resolution with my request. I'm not asking the agents to move heaven and earth here, come on!
