Pliz post n hide. The horror of residing in a company hse. Recently occupants of one of the biggest company residential areas in Bulawayo near godini terminus were left stranded in terms of electricity. A door to door raid was carried out n those with 4 plate stoves found their stoves disconnected from electricity n voltage cut down to almost nothing, to an extent that one cannot have jus the fridge n T.V on at the same tym. Surprisingly, the section that carried the raids remained with enough electricity to even conduct a photocoping business n bake using a big stove. Painful indeed, coz the group dat was doing the rounds wud get into the hse n harrass spouses, sit on arm rests of sofas and lean on anything within the hse leaving dirty marks.
While yes it was for a gud cause according to them but certain things shud have been considered. Those dat had their amps increased by them remained untouched bcoz they paid money. When you move into a new house you jus hire an electrician to connect yo electrical gadgets bcoz you r not qualified 4 it. As long everythin is workin n in order you neva know whether it was done properly bcoz you not an electrician. The responsible guys dont even attend to such things, but in the end you get punished. Now picture the rate at which the fire brigade visited the place bcoz of being selfishly deprived of electricity. Fire brigade must always be ready for our calls bcoz now we r using gas n parrafin yet a better way can be sought to solve this, buyin paraffin is as gud as paying for the electricity. We all need electricity, we beta pay if its goin to solve the issue
