“WE HAVE BEED TRYING FOR MONTHS TO GET THE MADIBENG MUMICIPALITY TO ATTEND TO THE SUBSTATION BEFORE IT EXPLODES BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THROUGH TO MADIBERG ON THE PHONE. NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE MAIN SWITCHBOARD NUMBER OR THE AFTER HOURS NUMBER I WAS GIVEN”, SAYS REIDENT JANET CATHERINE.
“I HAVE TRIED JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER NUMBER THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS TO TRY RAISE THE DEAD THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY HANGING ABOUT IN THE COUNICL OFFICES.
TWO INSPECTORS AND A MAINTENANCE PERSON BY THE NAME OF SIMON HAVE INSPECTED IT AND FOUND IT TO BE EXTREMELY DANEROUS IN IN THAT IT COULD EXPLODE. THEY INFORMED US THAT IT WOULD BE ATTENDED TO ON 8TH MAY. WE ARE STILL WAITING AND CANNOT REACH ANYONE TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW UP ON IT.
