Volgens ‘n twiet op Eskom se Twitterblad van gisteraand 11-uur, is fase-1-beurtkrag gekanselleer omdat verbruikers glo “elektrisiteit bespaar” het.
Soos praag egter gister berig het, kan verbruikers steeds beurtkrag en kragonderbrekings oor die langer termyn verwag soos wat Eskom se probleme weens ‘n jare lange gebrek aan instandhouding en goeie bestuur toeneem.
Toe ek Angola in 1998 beleef het, het die bedompige riool urienereuk oor die eens pragtige Luanda gehang. Al die besighede en woongebiede het hul eie Atlas Copco kragopwekkers gehad en die drinkwater is met trokke in erftenks gepomp en voor die woonhuise in 44gal dromme.
Die mure was donker gepiepie want die rioolstelsels was gesaboteer deur die vlugtende Portugeuse. Berge rommel
Luukse motor se vensters en flikkerligte is vasgeswys om nie gesteel te word nie.
Dubbel diefwering voor swart gebrande verlate winkels.
Ek sal maar in 2 moerse plastiek tenks belê ; een vir drinkwater en een vir die toilette.
En ook maar ‘n kragopwekkertjie wat darem die boorgat se dompelpomp sal kan opwek.
En sonlaaiertjie vir die selfone.
Ek het al my groot vensters met deursigtige sellutape geplak wat ‘n dêm goeie diefwering is.- hoor. Die brakkie slaap binne.
en die motorfiets is vasgeketting met ‘n osketting….
Die miltêre graad lasersekuriteit is op 4 hoeke – skakel met selfoon om te waarsku as iemand buite die huis is wanneer ons terugkeer van Kerk af. En ons het meganiese kodeslotte
Dis nou FW en Ton en Koos en Pik se Tsafendastan.
Hmm?
Toe nie. Fase een inbrake en koperkabels steel is aan.

Media alert
Beware of electricity smart meter impersonators
9 February 2015
The City of Tshwane would like to caution its customers to beware of criminals masquerading as electricity smart meter installers.
It has come to our attention that a group of men have been going around suburbs, particularly in the east of Tshwane, robbing customers while posing as smart meter contractors.
The City of Tshwane is rolling out smart meters as part of its Security of Revenue Project, which aims to replace all conventional meters with these smart meters for prepaid electricity.
The criminals visit residential areas where the smart meters are being rolled out and produce fake proof that they work for the City of Tshwane, and once they gain access to the property, they rob the customers.
Please note that all smart meters for residential customers are installed on the street and no access is required to the customer’s property.
Where a meter is within the customer’s property or inside the house, the City of Tshwane will make arrangements to relocate the meter into a street-side enclosure.
In future, on the day of the switch and after the meter has been successfully installed, we will send a contractor to each property to install the customer interface unit, but this will not happen until April/May this year, and customers will be informed of this activity in advance.
Genuine and legitimate installers are identifiable by an ID card that has their name, photo and SA identity document number printed on it, and their vehicles have magnetic contractor badges attached to them.
The installers work from 07:00 to 18:00, Monday to Saturday. In the event of a technical issue, like a power outage, they will work until power has been restored. However, no access to the customer’s property is required, even under those circumstances.
When in doubt, please call the Total Utility Management Services (TUMS) Call Centre on 012 943 9950 to confirm the identity of the installer or to call the police.
NB: We have attached an example of the badge of a smart meter contractor.
