Power finally restored in Hilton Road

After the most debilitating day, Eskom workers restored our power at around 11pm. 23 hours without electricity. To give some idea of what happened, criminals stole our cables at midnight. The 10 metres of cable would have fetched a few rand on the scrap market. To repair the damage, again, cost Eskom in the region of R10 000. There were 10 contractors working for over five hours today. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee it won't happen again tomorrow. The sight of all the Eskom vehicles working late into the night, to restore power to one home, was like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
