The City of Ekurhuleni has confirmed that technicians are now in the final testing phase before restoring power to affected areas in Pomona, Bredell, and parts of Glen Marais.

According to the city’s latest update, once testing is complete, power will be gradually restored to residents.

Many homes and businesses have been without electricity since Friday evening, with several revised restoration times issued over the past few days as teams worked to repair multiple faults.
