04/29 – Sarie: Please can everyone who is on Vodacom report the bad signal. (I spose the theory is like prayer? If you can get lots of people to pray, there’s a better chance things will happen?)
Marie: Where can we report? I am on Cell C and we work on the same tower. Don’t know where to report
Fanie: No signal at all. Been going on since Friday
Jannie: Peet told me on Saturday they had stolen the batteries at the tower and using the generator now. Maybe the diesel has run out.

I arse you, Vodacom! How ve hel are the mense going to be able to swipe up to tjek the poppies pole vaulting and hoogspringing in vey leotards if you don’t give us signal!?
