Residents and businesses in the Kempton Park CBD as well as the taxi rank and airport freight services will be without power on Saturday, June 1.

This comes as technicians from the City of Ekurhuleni (CoE) plan to conduct emergency maintenance of electrical components in the area.

As a result power will be interrupted from 07:00 to 18:00.
