My SMS to Paul – the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) technician who is our contact for Monavale repairs and who was working yesterday on the smoking electricity poles with his team:
‘Hello Paul.  I am afraid the Elec. pole on Onslow Lane (path down to Monavale Vlei) was smoking again just now.  elec is still on. Thank you.’

His to me:
‘Relax madam, we knw why its still behaving that violently, we had no permanent spares ystrday so u’re on a temp supply back feed until we get thoz spares, u’re safe jst ignore it will clear.’

Me:
‘Thank you so much Paul. we are relaxed. Happy Easter.’

PS … For any of you who wonder what Monavale Vlei is about  – look at www.monavalevlei.com
