Stop Recurring Power Outages in the Peachtree area

The community of Peachtree, and specifically Copperleaf Golf and Country Estate, have been experiencing increasing power outages in the last two years. The outages are attributed to cable theft and, recently, substation sabotages.

The repeated power outages are not only a source of inconvenience but lead to financial loss and economic disruptions in the area.

It is our belief as residents of the area that there are a number of available solutions to this problem at the disposal of the Metropolitan Municipality of Tshwane, in the interim as well as long-term. The Municipality has an obligation to ensure that its residents and clients enjoy uninterrupted power and other services.

Though the City of Tshwane cannot be held accountable for criminal activity, it remains responsible for curbing and preventing criminal activity in its area of control. It also has an obligation to protect its residents from the negative effects of criminal activity by employing lasting solutions to counter criminals’ actions.

We, the undersigned, petition the City of Tshwane to implement preventative measures to power outages in the Peachtree area...
