Electrician needed urgently: Thulani's home isn't safe

Looking for a licensed electrician in Johannesburg to donate time or work at cost.

In July an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $520 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed electrician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $25. The job should take about six hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request. If you're an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Wishing you the best, Thulani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Ikeja.

    • Kennedy D. Hatfield

      This could happen to any of us. After 7 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.

        Sending strength, Thulani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
