Black Christmas for some Dobsonville residents via SABCNewsOnline

The residents say they have asked Eskom to fix the problem and were promised that technicians would be dispatched.

The residents say life has been difficult, as everyday they have to buy food which has to be cooked immediately. Refrigerators, stoves and other electrical appliances are not working.“We have to buy food everyday and get gas cylinders. Some people don’t have the money, so they have to get wood to make fire outside. We are back now in the villages where we don’t have electric stoves. We don’t have a kitchen, we cook outside,” says Mongkgae.

One resident says she has to beg help from her neighbours a few meters from her house, who have electricity. “I have two kids, first born has sinus and asthma. The second one still uses a bottle. So, it’s very difficult. We ask people from the other side. We are bothering people. At times, you knock and they do not open and you can’t be angry at these people. We survive by knocking at the people with electricity asking for help with water, cooking. At times, the children survive on bread,” says the resident.
