“The cable is about four metres under the road. We have already exposed the cable and the City of Mbombela was supposed to cut the power to the cable today (March 22) so we could move it, but the municipality was having issues with its electricity supply in some areas so it couldn’t be done.”
Visser said the last cable was expected to be moved by the end of the week.
“Once the cable has been moved, we can continue building the road. It should be completed in less than two months,” he said.
