Had a call from a customer today requesting a COC for the building. Apparently the Ethikweni inspectors are doing the rounds in Pinetown requesting business licenses, COC etc from business owners. They informed my customer they have until Friday to produce a COC other wise they switch off the power. The customer has been in the building for 10 years.

I notify them of illegal installations being done in hundreds of flat in Durban, they say it is not their problem because the installation is being done by Eskom contractors, so I thought maybe I should tell my customer to tell them the installation was done by an Eskom approved contractor. I agree it is as stupid as it sounds

I am busy with inspection reports to get the installation up to spec, but it is going to take longer than 3 days.
