Hello folks,

Let us now go back to Sunday the 9th - power 
goes off at 8.30pm - Ruth goes to the bathroom window and sees that the neighbors across the road have power so now we know exactly 
where the problem lies.

She goes over to A+A's house - Mr A comes 
to the door and says he cannot help it if 
Escom power keeps going off. Ruth points out 
that the neighbors have power he does not 
know what to say.  Monday 10th power off 
again - usual story. She sends Mr A  an SMS . 
He sends one back saying that for the past 
two years the power cost him R2000.00 per 
month and now it has gone to R8000.00 - he 
is going to increase the rents.  (I wonder what 
he expects when he gives  five of his workers families free power) and there is a total of  11 families living on the property.


Tuesday 11th they switch power off again at 
6pm, but for a short period.  Just enough for 
the TV to go off in the middle of a program 
and we miss half of it because the TV has to 
go through the scanning process which, as 
you know all know,  takes quite a while.

Ruth has now informed Steve of the problem
and he is not amused. He also knows of the potential sale of the property to the tall black 
guy.

12th July - it is a month to the day that our 
Danny was taken from us. Many tears have 
rolled off our cheeks, but praise be to God 
He gives us the strength to carry on. Today 
I must type Ruth and my wills - we were 
leaving everything to Danny, but now that 
he is gone we will have to leave it to Steve 
and Andy. 

I have typed our wills 
but have felt too ill to 
do anything with them      
they are now sitting on 
my laptop waiting to be 
sent to Ruth for printing 
but she too has been too 
sick to do anything.

It is switching off power again tonight. Power goes off for a few minutes then just as the television finishes scanning it goes off again.  
This is repeated 5 times in less than 15 minutes. 
I give up and switch the television off.

When Ruth confronts A he says he is not so 
stupid as to walk up and down to switch the 
power off,  but whoever does it does not have 
to walk up and down , it goes on and off in 
very short periods you would have to stand 
there to do it.

We are praying and asking God to help us, so 
that we can leave this place.
