Concerned resident Selaelo Seshibe (41) said she blames the transformer for her burnt amplifier and she continues to lose globes as they burst on a regular basis.
Another resident, Bonolo Mathekga (25), said her light bulbs don’t last even a week.
“I don’t have money to replace them all the time,” she said.
