Technicians worked tireless yesterday to repair damages at Poortjiedam substation as it was vandalised the previous night.  Panels had been stripped and the electrical protection of the substation had been seriously damaged.

To avoid further damage, the substation had been switched off, leaving residents of Promosa and Mohadin without electricity.

The substation suffered heavy damage on wiring and the team of technicians were able to repair the damage and restore electricity to the areas affected.

Glenville Fransman, community leader, confirmed that the electricity was restored yesterday afternoon.
