On Thursday afternoon, 29 November, Mogale City was scheduled to have Stage 1 load shedding from 4pm.
At about 9pm, power returned to most parts of Mogale City; however several areas across the city, including Rangeview Extension 4 had working street lights, but no power supply to the houses. Parts of Krugersdorp North are still also off.
The municipality currently has no after-hours call centre, so residents and councillors have no way to log complaints or report service delivery issues.

The Infrastructure department is woefully understaffed and currently only has one standby electrician on duty after hours, and four during the day.
“This is a huge shortfall for a municipality of Mogale’s size. Instead of employing more technicians, the municipality chose to employ 80 people into political support services which renders no service delivery to the residents of Mogale.”
