MCLM communications officer, Refilwe Mahlangu, confirmed this will happen tomorrow (June 18) from 09:00 to 17:00.

“This planned outage is essential for necessary maintenance, including the decommissioning and refurbishment of a mini substation,” Mahlangu stated.

She added, this will affect Lismore and Willoughby Roads and possibly adjacent roads.

We sincerely apologise that this could not have been done earlier, due to a shortage of materials.

“To prevent any damage from electrical surges, we urge you to treat all wiring as live and switch off all appliances during the outage,” she concluded.

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
