Residents left confused as fault on Eskom cables also strike Kempton
Residents took to social media, looking for the correct schedule.
A substation that went down earlier this morning, has left residents ‘in the dark’ as far as load shedding is concerned.
Stage 2 load shedding was implemented by Eskom at 9am and more or less at the same time, suburbs in Ward 15, Van Riebeeck Park, Birchleigh and a section of Glen Marais, were also left without power.
Residents took to social meeting, looking for the correct schedule.
Ward councillor Gideon van Zyl reported that the energy department has a problem on the 88kv lines, which are the feeder lines from Eskom.
“It is being attended to. This is not load shedding,” he said.
In the meantime, the City of Ekurhuleni has posted this tweet:
