Saffa_G Posted June 30, 2008 Share hey guys anyone ridden at night lately in Pretoria East? especially between Jacqueline Drive and Atterbury road and Old Farm on Hans strydom? none of the street lights are working there? I rode there last night around 7pm and was shocked at how dark it is? you guys think that there is really a problem with the lights or have the government decided to save electricity by turnign them off in different areas at different times? Could this be the reason? It's getting crazy out there. .... Saffa_G2008-06-30 00:47:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilli Pepper Posted June 30, 2008 Share There's never any street lights there... I've wondered the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alida Posted June 30, 2008 Share I used to run at night in that area Saffa - always been dark. Down Atterbury towards De Ville Bois is just as dark. There are lights I think - they just don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Flyers Posted June 30, 2008 Share Probably because of cable thieves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffa_G Posted June 30, 2008 Share yeah, I suppose .... I just got very very angry while riding there ... it is so dangerous and so so cruddy that we have such poor services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakker Posted June 30, 2008 Share Probably because of cable thieves I read in the latest Record about an uncovered "bandits' nest", I think on the corner of Garsfontein and Hans Strydom, where they also found copper cables. Unfortunately they didn't catch the guys (yet). I found these numbers on the Metro's website if you want to report it, Saffa G: (012) 358 6667/6690/6606.

Zoo Cookie Posted June 30, 2008 Share here in Centurion, in the street where i'm staying, lights were off the whole of last week. and three mornings last week the lights on the N1 were off as well. this morning, some of the lights were off at Buccluch interchange. i'm thinking Eskom is starting again. . . . the "save electricity" ads on radio are back as well.
