Parts of Silverfields without electricity

A substation was damaged during cable theft, leaving residents without power for several days.

Cable theft at a substation in Silverfields has left parts of the suburb without electricity. According to Mogale City Local Municipality ward councillor Lourens Gouws, reports were received about 23:00 on September 16 that alleged cable thieves were tampering with the substation.

“Some parts have been restored, but most of the area will only have power again by Friday,” Gouws said.
