Eskom technical teams are working around the clock to bring back supply after a Northrand Edenvale cable tripped in the early hours of this morning, September 2.

The result of the power tripping caused a power failure that affected the Edenvale CBD, Edenvale, Eastleigh, Eastleigh Ridge, Glendower and its extensions, and Dowerglen and its extensions in Edenvale.

It is estimated that the power will be restored tomorrow, September 3, in the evening due to the complexity and magnitude of the fault.

Meanwhile, Eskom and Ekurhuleni will implement a three-hourly load shedding-rotation in the affected areas, to ease the impact on customers until the power is fully restored.

Eskom apologised for the inconvenience caused.
