I’m not sure what one would experience elsewhere in the world when dealing with electricity connections and transfers, but I know how it goes on this side of the world.
Why – just this morning I was at the Ethkweni Municipality. Tranferring my electricity account from where I live at the mo mo to where I am moving to mo mo (not sure where that comes from – humor me)
Yes. I was there. For 3 hours – makes me smile like this ---> :-)
No. Not really. All the did was piss me off. Like this ::d(-_-)b::
3 hours – and I did not manage to have the connection transferred. I ended up having to go to 3 different Ethekweni offices, I did not even know there were 3 in Durban. This one does not know, so they send me there, then they don’t know, so they send me elsewhere, and they don’t know, and they don’t know, and…. I just walked out and came back to work.
So I move tomorrow and I don’t have power. Lovely.
I’ll try again this afternoon, once I’ve calmed down and I can get hold of some vodka.

I don't think it's any better anywhere else - certianly not in JHB!! Hope you come right though...although there's nothing like an impromptu candle lit dinner to ease away the tensions and get the mood going :D
hehe. i do like how you think Bron :)
uurgh, just so frustrating.
hope you're well and how is the little one? must be getting big!
happy day to ya.
Wow...that sounds insanely frustrating. I'd be right there with you, losing my mind.
I've been lucky in the past when it comes to moving. All I've had to do it make sure the previous tenant had a shut off date arranged, and then all I had to do was make a phone call to make sure they turned it on, and changed it over to my name.
Much simpler than what you had to suffer through. :-(
hi jon, nice to see you popping in :)
thanks, sounds like transfering electricity is much easier there than here!!! Then again, i knew i was in for some troubles, its classic this side of the world... Government services are not top class here i'm afraid.. well, mostly anyway.
That's a Government agency for you! UGH!
I guess that would hold true in any country
