Eskom plans to do urgent repairs on their 132 kV overhead network on Sunday, 13 October.
Between 05:00 and 18:00, the electricity will be switched off. However, the electrical installation must be treated as live, at all times. For the reason that the electricity can be switched on at any time, or might not be switched off at all.

- Ikageng West Substation (although it is not operational yet)
- The Central Business District (CBD) substation.
The areas that will be affected are:
- Vyfhoek Plots rural area
- Mooivallei Plots rural area

- Old Bailie Park
- New Bailie Park and the new surrounding extensions
- Grimbeeckpark
