Impressed at quick response from Makana Electricit­y

-

I am impressed with the service I received from the Makana Electricit­y Department. My pre-paid meter was giving problems. I phoned the Electricit­y Department on a Friday afternoon and after one ring my call was answered. I explained the nature of the problem and was told that the stand-by electricia­n would attend to it.

I was asked whether 5pm that evening would be convenient. True to his word, an efficient electricia­n arrived and advised that the meter required “upgrading” to manage the extra demand. I phoned the Electricit­y Department again the following week and was advised that I should go to the Finance Depart- ment, complete a form, make the required nominal payment and phone the Electricit­y Department when I had done so. I did as I was told. Upon advising the Electricit­y Department that the paperwork had been completed, an arrangemen­t was made to collect it and for the electricia­n to attend to the upgrade at 2pm.

Once again the electricia­n appeared on time and the problem has been solved. That is what I call efficiency! Many thanks to Mrs Ntontela and her team.
