EMERGENCY NUMBERS

THE BCM call centre is operational from 6am to 9pm every day of the week.

However, in many instances in the past we have had several calls and messages from our readers indicating that this number rings unanswered.

In an event where the call centre number 086-111-3017 is unavailable, Samkelo Ngwenya, BCM spokesman, recommends that residents alternatively call the following service numbers: Electricity: 043-050-5683 Water: East London: 043 -705-9234/9235 Mdantsane: 043-705-9860/9861 King William’s Town: 043-604-8506
