Residents in Breyten are increasingly frustrated by frequent electricity outages affecting their daily lives.

Many households report experiencing almost daily power cuts, often without warning or explanation from the Msukaligwa Local Municipality.

The outages are not only inconvenient but also raise safety concerns, with residents saying electricity disruptions often affect cellphone signals, leaving them without communication during emergencies.

Community members say attempts to get answers from the municipality have been unsuccessful, with no clarity on the cause of the outages or when power will be reliably restored.

The issue affects a large number of households, prompting residents to seek media attention in hopes of drawing urgent intervention and accountability.

Municipal officials have not yet commented on the Highvelder’s enquiries.
