The Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) has confirmed to the News on Thursday, 3 December that a citywide electricity shutdown is scheduled from 9am to 11am this Sunday, 6 December.
Eskom will cut off the power supply to all Mogale City areas as essential maintenance work is to be conducted at the Condale Substation.
MCLM Head of Corporate Communications, Adrian Amod explained, “The power supply will be intermittently interrupted for switching purposes. However, interruptions are not expected to be experienced for the entire two hours. [This is] part of the power utility’s Maintenance Recovery Project that aims to spur midlife refurbishment and conduct reliability maintenance to help improve its service.
As power supply may be restored before the abovementioned time, we urge residents to treat their electricity supply points as live at all times for safety reasons.”
