Minority Front Ward Councillor, Bradley Singh managed to get the electricity back up and running as soon as he was notified of the situation after a major explosion to the electricity box, which was blackened to the core, outside Mr Govenders Lenham home, caused a blackout from Sunday, 21 August 2011 until Tuesday, 23 August 2011.
It is believed and alleged that a massive cable fault has caused the box to explode. Govender claimed that he had notified the respective authorities of the problem but received no responsive help.
"I had called in the Municipality as soon as the explosion happened. I received no help. Due to my electricity being off for three days, all my food in my fridge and freezer has gone mouldy. We are suppose to be receiving help as soon as a problem is reported. I had finally called in Councillor Bradley Singh as he is our Ward Councillor and thanks to him my electricity was restored the very same day", said Govender.
The electricity was finally restored after the intervention of Councillor Singh.
Councillor Singh said that "nobody should be without electricity for such a long period as this has become an important human necessity. I made the necessary arrangements and had the electricity restored, I even went the extra mile and met with the contractors on site and would like to place on record the staff which ensured that the community receives this essential need,however due to the strike action there was a delay and if residents contacted me sooner the problem would have been sorted earlier". said cllr Bradley Singh.
