I have been noticing street lights and floodlights remain on 24\/7 for more than two weeks now – says Dirk Koekemoer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He claims these lights can be found at OR Tambo International Airport, the Gautrain Rhodesflield and Elandsfontein Train Stations, as well as in Bedfordview, Primrose, Elandsfonein and Kempton Park.<\/p>\n

“I have been contacted everyone I could think of and still nothing has been done about this.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

“It is being treated as if this is just one little street light in my area.”<\/p>\n

Koekemoer’s concern focuses on what kind of strain these lights are putting on the already strained national power grid grid.<\/p>\n

“Are we not experiencing a national power crisis?,” he asked.<\/p>\n

The GCN contacted the metro to find out why these lights had been left burning.<\/p>\n

At the time of going to print not comment had been received.<\/p>\n
